How not to get freezer burn on your fillets? This isn’t exactly a revelation to a lot of anglers, but it can sure save you some bucks and fish in the long run.
When you get done with the filleting, place them in a freezer zip-loc and then add water. Stop filling about halfway to the top, and then start sealing the top of the bag, almost to the end. Squeeze the bag until water begins to come out, and close the rest of the bag. Lay flat in the freezer for storage later.
Like I said, its not a new process, lots of folks do it already and works great in preventing freezer burn. Saves you some money from the expensive vacuum sealers, and buying the bags later on. This also applies to when Meijer’s has those buy one, get two deals on shrimp.
