So true about the ice thing, I have yet to fish the salt waters my self, but the first thing I do when I get back from my fresh water trips is fillet my gills and soak them in ice and water with salt added.
this helps kill any thing in the fresh water fish like bacteria and worms they cary...
then I rinse them, place in fresh clean water in a ziplock freezer bag and freeze solid. they have a two year shelf life this way, "provided the power dosnt go out for more than five days for my freezer.
Ice cream wont survive more than a day or two with the power off because of all the sugar. be carefull not to add salt when freezing because it lowers the freezing and melting points. it may only be a couple degrees but it really dose make a difference.
