When you say flash freeze, do you mean just putting the fillets in the freezer for a while first? When I think flash freeze, I think of something way colder than my freezer.
No you are freezing the outside only not completely freezing solid, fridges with defrosting works really well.

The air fryer thing is nice to know, I never keep fish in the fridge because the other ways to reheat it doesn’t work that good. Ill try that next time thank you

Air fryers of all sorts are awesome when it comes to reheating deep fried walleye. My goal is to always make enough to where I have leftovers the next day for lunch at work. A few pieces of walleye, tartar sauce, couple slices of bread, and a slice of cheese makes for an awesome lunch sandwich at work.

Watching duck camp diners with chef Jean Paul Bourgeois they were catching cats down in Louisiana they would cut the tails and they would throw them right in ice and bleed them out did that this winter and worked like a charm.

If you want good different ways to cook wild game check out duck camp dinners on you tube he has great stuff on there

Cajuns are the best cooks. I made this catfish sauce Piquante a few times and every one loved it

@luvcatchingbass I think you said you have a chamber sealer. Myself and Slayer looking at them too. Any recommendations? What do you have?
I got a Vevor after a buddy of mine had abused his for a couple years with no issues. Can't remember which size I got but it was the bigger of the 2. I think with shipping to my door I paid $380-400, I also signed up for something to get more off and haven't been spammed too bad to my knowledge.

@luvcatchingbass , are the domes on those high enough to do a whole chicken, and I suppose a full rack of ribs would have to be cut in half, correct ?

My buddy has the smaller one and they have done whole chickens in his so mine would be fine, there is a removeable plate in the bottom to pickup another 2in about in head height. Haven't tried a rack of ribs yet but I would say around 1/2 rack to 3/4 rack. I can get some measurements and particulars on mine tonight if I remember and post up some pic's.
According to my buddy it is the same motor and vac system as Vac Master or whatever much more expensive model. I don't use mine a ton but I sure am glad I have it now. I mine it on a little table in my garage next to a work bench. My buddy setup a shelving system and has 2 shelves dedicated to the Vac Sealer pretty much, sealer and open space for lining things up on one and the self above has all his various bags and such

@guywhofishes we're waiting........

I bought this maybe 10 yrs ago

Don’t think they make it anymore.

I bought a replacement lid - cuz I suspected they’d quit making it and I couldn’t get one anymore.

It’s more than paid for itself in bag savings.

And being able to bag soups, stews, sauces is a hoot. (hint - refrigerate them first or they’ll boil over and spill into the chamber).

I like cheese. It doesn't go on fish. You may have a tumor.

Shark fishing off a pier is illegal saltwater "catfishing". I made a few friends in the wee hours by giving mostly duskys away. All I ever wanted were the heads for jaws. "Their" sharks were bled by the same^^^^ manner. They told me they were getting 14$ a lb for the meat in the early '90's.

FWIW: Dusky shark meat, properly bled is snow white like chicken breast. It's probably sold off as other species. My two best ever nights in this endeavor were with a basket of fresh black sea bass from a free charter trip and still quivering/skinned fillets from a bonnet head (not bled). Sharks prefer fresh fish; like blues and channels.

It's important to bleed sharks as they piss through their skin. Yum.

Blah blah blah that is all:
