One things for sure, it will be easier to work with than having them in a big frozen bag all stuck together. I put some in smaller mylar bags, about 6 fillets per bag, then filled a gallon mylar bag with the rest.

we freeze ours in water completely cover so no air gets to them .
we only put 4 to 6 fillets in a bag .
it takes from morning in a bowl on the counter top until dinner time for them to be exactly right sitting out at room temperature .
