TECHNICAL NOTES///
Conversation-specific knowledge extracted from the freezing crappie tips discussion.
QUESTION / CONTEXTI have a bunch of crappie I just finished trimming up that I cleaned a couple days ago. I probably wont cook them for a few days. Can I pack them tight in those food prep containers and put them in the freezer or am I better off using freezer baggies
IMPORTANT GUIDANCE
- Air exposure = freezer burn + fishy taste faster
- Hard containers usually trap more air unless you vacuum seal or completely fill them.
- Vacuum seal (best overall)
- Freezer zipper bags with air squeezed out
- Water-glaze method in bags or containers
- Regular prep containers (least ideal for longer storage)
- Pat fillets mostly dry
- Portion meal-sized amounts
