Fishing Tips – Fish Care
For those that don’t know, it is important to place the fish on ice immediately after they are killed. Clean them as soon as possible after you are done fishing and pack in plastic bags on ice. If you are not going to eat the fish within two days, freeze it by double wrapping in plastic wrap or bags to prevent freezer burn. Spread fish packages out near the cooling elements for quick chilling.
Thawing is one of the most important parts of this. Decide at least a day ahead of time if you want to have fish and thaw the package out slowly, in the refrigerator, for 12 to 24 hours. This is so the ice crystals melt slowly. Rapid defrosting at room temperature makes the meat mushy and tasteless.
