No problemo' KC! We're here to help. Notice that tubeN2 doesn't do frozen fish, LOL, I knew he'd jump in on this one. But he's right, frozen fish will never be as tastey as the "caught, cleaned, and cooked" the same day. But, freezing it in water retains the freshness as good as any other method. But, when you're in TubeN2's world, you get to fish everyday and don't have to freeze them. LOL!!!!!![sly]
As for myself, I have to catch enough to save for another day. I might get to hit the water once a week if i'm lucky and the water is cooperating. I rarely bank fish though, i'm usually in my boat. In fresh water, I don't keep very many fish. I might keep a couple cats if I feel like cleaning them. If I get into a few crappie, I'll keep them just because they are so easy to clean. I never keep bass on the occasion I target them, nor do I keep gar or bowfin when I target them. (yes I target gar and bowfin) [
] Most of the fish I keep are out of the ocean.
Another tip on frozen fish is to let them thaw out naturally. Don't run hot water over the bag or toss it in the mircowave on Defrost. It will ruin the meat. Why? I don't have a clue, but it really does affect the flavor.
