I disagree. Unless you are getting it from a seafood distributor, it's not always a better quality product. I only buy saltwater fish and seafood from seafood distributors. Alive if possible

I keep most of my fish. Give them away or to the fryer! But cleaning 2 limits of fish can be horrible.

I only fish for crappies in April after that I don't don't hardly keep any. I try to freeze enough for the rest of the year. Maybe 15-20 meals. All other species except perch and walleye are put back. Usually replenish the supply during ice season but the last 2 years the ice conditions have been terrible so no fish.
