I take my fillets and “suspend” them in water with a little salt and freeze them that way. No freezer burn and very fresh upon thawing. I use the plastic ziploc plastic containers btw.

i do similar but use vacuum sealer bags...no problems
They don't sick around my house long enough to get freezer burnt!
Never tried adding salt to the water. I assume you are using Sea Salt. I have historically shared my excess fillets but with the rise in food costs I plan on putting up more for our use. Also in the plans are different ways to process the fillets before & after cooking, for making other dishes.
we put our filets in quart freezer bags , we fill them full of water and squeeze the bag lightly when we seal it in the sink , no air and fish done this way last about forever fresh , no salt added to ours though
This is how we do it tooQuote:

I do the same, no salt. My brother vacuum seals his no water. Both seem to work ok.
I vacuum seal mine, no water. Saves freezer space this way.
I vacuum seal all my fish and deer meat.
we eliminated that issue by having 3 different freezers ....:RoflQuote:

We usually vacuum seal our fish (fillets and whole fish), although for a while I had a hard time freezing fillets because my wife was cooking them before I got a chance to vacuum seal them. [emoji1787][emoji39]
Whew, I feel better now, I have three freezers as well. I thought I had issues but I guess I'm not the only one! LolQuote:

BTW Sams has their good vacuum sealer and bags on sale right now for $50 off. Bought mine yesterday and will be vauuming mine from now on. But when i do freeze with bags squeeze out all the air and it doesn't take up as much room in freezer.
bought one a year or so ago the one Bluegabe touted but it worked for a few times and then won't vacuum at all and they have no CS so just having to eat it. Oh well.
