    Rinse and freeze, I used to soak over night but all that seemed to do is add water to the fillets. Next time all you soakers put some up pay attention to how much water is down in the bowl the next day, it isn't evaporating.

    I don’t soak fish and I don’t soak mushrooms. Doesn’t make any sense to me

    Mushrooms in salt water to get all the little critters that hide in the openings out. Don't need ant protein with my mushrooms.

    I like the salt method. When it comes to frying leave off the salt. Works good for me a clean white fillet.

    My wife says the fillets fried taste mushy. I can taste that to, but does not stop me from gorging myself with the best tasting fish anywhere

    I use salt and water to draw out the blood. I add Tony Chachere's Cajun and black pepper when frying in House Autry. Comes out pretty darn good even if I am the cook. I say both ways is fine!

    I like to soak mine in salt water, my thought is the iodine in salt might kill off any unseen critters in fillets like parasites. If i find any parasites i throw those filters away and don't keep fish from that water again. I also freeze mine in just plain water after an overnight soak.

    Crappie Pro Huckabee said in one of his videos I saw not to soak them in salt. He said that starts the cooking process. A ex friend of mine said he soaks his in salt to draw out the slime and blood. I just clean them, rise good, I see no blood I add water to ziplock bag and freeze.

    My opinion is if you salt them wash it off and soak in clear ice water over night . Ones left in salt water tend to get slimy .
