    Default Freezing Crappie


    I take my fillets and “suspend” them in water with a little salt and freeze them that way. No freezer burn and very fresh upon thawing. I use the plastic ziploc plastic containers btw.

    Never tried adding salt to the water. I assume you are using Sea Salt. I have historically shared my excess fillets but with the rise in food costs I plan on putting up more for our use. Also in the plans are different ways to process the fillets before & after cooking, for making other dishes.

    I vacuum seal mine, no water. Saves freezer space this way.
