Re: [VFB] Freezing fish

[DonO]

Sorry...I use a vacuum sealer- Cabela's Gamesaver Turbo.  Too many wasted and yukky fish freezing the old ways.  Has paid for itself in providing tasty fish 6 months later.   You should see if you could get some oxygen and water adsorbers from a food-service packager, and put them in the bags.  Our vfb chemists should be able to help out.   DonO   ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck Alexander To: vfb@troutnet.com Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 6:48 PM Subject: [VFB] Freezing fish Folks: My parents always put fish in water and froze them.. My wife's family always just put them in Zip Locks" and froze them, but I say that makes em freezer burn fast, but My wife says putting them in water makes the flesh mushy..So, we compromise, and take a coffee stirrer, and suck out as much air as possible in the Zip Locks"...(Cause I can't afford a pro food vacuum sealer)..How do ya'll freeze fish???
