    I always bag my fish in zip lock bags with water. It is important to fill with a little extra water, hold bag upright, zip bag 3/4 shut, start squeezing lightly to let all air bubbles escape with excess water, & then quickly zip shut while water flowing. Also, he taught me to never wash fillets before freezing, as it removes natural oils that will help preserve fish from “freezer burnt” taste. Thaw in cool water & rinse fillets well before cooking. It works! We’ve kept fish 2-3 years this way... Of course, now with 6 mouths to feed we rarely keep any over 5-6 months! Freezing fish

    I cut up the fillets , put in bag , fill with water, put on species, number , date frozen . Went the other route and hated putting on a cookie sheet freeze and then come back to seal .

    I use the ice glaze method :

    Put fillets on a cookie sheet and freeze for two hours,then dip them in ice water and put them in freezer bags and place them back in your freezer.

    Zip lock bags faster. Less steps . Sealer saves space but I bought a bigger freezer . JMO

    I fillet and brine them for a few hours, and then rinse and use vac seal bags. They taste fresh even one year later.

    I don't know squat about this stuff but usually I just filet fish and stick them in a zip loc bag, suck out the air and freeze. Got some crappie last week and decided to try something different. I filet then all and when done rinsed then good. Then put them into a beat eggs. Out of there and into a ziploc bag of Italian bread crumbs. Shake and then layed them out on a piece of wax paper on a plate. Filled the plate and recovered with wax paper. Did it till all were done then stuck it in the freezer long enough to freeze. Put the piece's in ziploc bags and back in the freezer. To cook them I got a bunch of oil in a pot and deep fried them. Boy did they come out good! Gonna try that with cats if I get any this year.
