Vacuum packers/freezer storage

[AverysAdventure]

Matt's method wins for home use. Sucker machines that they call vacuum packers do not do the job. One must invest well north of $1000 for a chamber vacuum machine. And expect to pay several dollars per bag for anything of quality. The best machine I've owned I dished out over $3000 for. Without going to a chamber machine then flooding your bags with water will out do any other method. There is a lot more to the equation for freezing fish and having a quality product though. The next big concern is how fast you can get your fish down to 0 degrees. Cell destruction from a slow freeze will always produce a inferior product regardless of packaging method. That's what my experience has proved anyway.
