Title: Best Way to Freeze Fish Filets
Post by: LostArrow on April 04, 2014, 06:04:59 PM

Learned this last year.
Lay filets on a cookie sheet with wax paper between layers.
Freeze overnite ( no longer)
Dip into ice water bath & back on cookie sheet & freezer for 30 min.
Put individual filets into freezer bag & take out what you need!
Ones I'm planning on using in next 1-2 month just in ziplock bag, others into vacuum bag.

I learned that from an old guy I met in the grocery, it doesn't stick together after dipping in ice cold water and refreezing or I have frozen in portions in water also.  Pam

Thanks for sharing. I always freeze a couple pieces in water. Your way sounds like it will form a nice ice seal without all the water.

John, when you say put individual filets into zip lock, is that one per bag?
