My dad worked at an ice house making those blocks, around the time I was born. Front street in Morgan City across the streets of the Atchafalaya river. The shrimp boats would get ice there. Yes we had they grew up using an ice box, not refrigerator. I was born a couple blocks away and was one of the last babies born there. The old hospital closed the next month and the new one, which stills exists was opened a few miles across town. March 1955.

I freeze 20 ounce drink bottles to put in my minnow bucket, although rarely use it. I was thinking 1 gallon zip lock bags would be good and reusable for live well or ice chest.
