I always ice my fish down to kill them and clean them the next day. I've never fussed over draining the water off the ice, I figure they're fish, and they just came out of the water, were perfectly created to live in the water, pretty much water proof, so what's the harm? From there it's either the freezer or fryer.
John 21:3
Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
And we act like this Nightstalking thing is new.
For some excitment, read the next verse. A special guest arrived, they filled their coolers and had a fish fry on the beach...in the morning. My kind of people.- Bowfin
