What is the best way to freeze fish ?

What is the best way to freeze fish without them tasting like they have been frozen?
I have allways ate the fish I keep within a couple days after catching them. I never like how they tasted after freezing them. Anyone have any ideals on how to freeze them so they still have the fresh taste to them? I am planing on having a fish fry for my family in the next couple of weeks and need to freeze some of the fish. Any suggestions would be helpfull ?

We always put the fillets into a gallon ziplock back and fill with water. You need to make sure the water COMPLETELY covers the fish.

Yep and make sure to get all the air out before closing the bag.

The other option is a food saver. I dont like to freeze fish either but when I do it is normally just put enough water in a zip lock to cover them and then seal it down so there is no air in the bag like the other guys.

Ziploc vacuum bags sure save lots of freezer space and seem to do a good job of keeping fish fresh. Only problem is you can't get a lot of fillets in each quart bag.

I vacuum pack with a food saver. Freezing them in water makes the fillets mushy. When water freezes, it expands. If fillets are in the water as it freezes, they are being squeezed, breaking down the texture.
