I'm not , but I would like to know the trick to doing that.....it always takes me forever to thaw them out.

G, I put them in a sink of HOT water still sealed. When the water starts to cool I let it out and then open the ziplock into the sink and start thawing with cold water. Gives you a heck of a jump start ut the fish never gets hot.

Vacuum pack them! I would have to see it to believe it. When I froze some in water it would take all day to thaw them.

I have enough in the freezer to have a fish fry at my Church and feed everybody.....but I am waiting on cooler weather before I do it and I am dreading thawing them.....got 450 fillets to thaw out.

Next time I thaw some I'll time it. Most of the time I get them out and start the thawing. By the time I get everything else ready to go fish are thawed and ready to be put in the meal. There is not alot of water in the packs like I put up, bet it is less than a cup of water in those pint bags.

I freeze them n H2O and it takes hours to thaw.Running hot water on them will harden the fillet.

Running water over them ruins the texture. I freeze un water in quarts and to speed the thaw along, I place them in pans on the counter separated so they don't insulate each other then put a fan on them on low. This blows the cool air away and cuts the thaw time in about half. Still takes a good long while though.
