    Default Frozen Crappie good or bad?


    I found few bags of crappie fillets frozen in water from March hiding in my freezer, I'm just curious how long do they stay good frozen like this. Should I toss the bag or fry them up?

    Fry em up. I have kept them over a year in water and couldn't tell the difference. May have one or two on edge that get a little freezer burn but that's it.

    If frozen in water the right way. I have even had them up to 2 years and they still tasted fine.
    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.

    Nothing wrong with frozen fish. I have found some in my freezer before that was 3 years old. Just thaw them out slowly in the frig so they don't turn to mush.
    Lets go soak a line. Pat

    I had some the other day that I caught in 2009. They bag was in the very back of the freezer and I had to give them a try to see if they were still good and they were. When I freeze them in water there is no air in the bag to create freezer burn and I let them thaw out slowly. Worked like a charm.

    I'm glad I froze mine in water then! I do have some trout in my freezer from Jan-Feb that I was told is definitely no good! Any truth to that?

    Were they froze in water, if so I don't see any reason for them not to be good?
