Fish that I will fry or use in a gravy, water.
Red fish on the scales, I wrap in freezer paper tightly and put up, not for long though

Water ftw

It's both red and mangrove snapper that I'll be freezing, so I guess water it will be. Gonna try a little lemon juice in the water also.

Water if you don't have a food saver...buy a food saver

Food saver is a great investment if you fish a lot

My opinion is going to be a little different than everybody else's but I say no water. Fish fillets and water do not mix. Leave fish fillets in water for too long and it will ruin the fillet. Some types of fish can tolerate water better and some don't do well with water at all. Take tuna-water will ruin yellowfin tuna and will also change the color of the meat.
No one in the seafood industry uses water to freeze fish fillets. These are two basic methods used in the seafood industry:
Individually vacuum packed-single fillet in sealed vacuum pack bag
IQF- usually frozen with CO2gas or liquid nitrogen and a slight glaze on the fish to keep it from getting freezer burned
Now with that said, using water to freeze your fillets probably won't ruin the fish and I guess it will keep it from getting freezer burned. If you have a vacuum pack machine, I would use that with no water but that's just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.

My buddy cooked 3 year old bass fillets and they tasted ok..They were however in a courtbuillion and seasoned really well.

I use the ziplock vacuum seal bags and for the price I can honestly say I'm thoroughly impressed! Ive only had 1 leak, and it was minimal . $2 for the pump and cheap bags. I bring them to the dock and immediately vac seal my fillets- keeps em more fresh for sure

I've heard of people soaking deer and such in milk to remove the "gamy" taste. Maybe he'd thinking the same with fish.

Put meat in container and cover with ice. Stick in fridge till most of the ice has melted; pour out water/blood and repeat process.
You can also accomplish this in an ice chest if it's a larger amount. I used to not eat deer until I was shown this. It works wonders, I promise. The meat is pretty and not dark.

Me too. If I wanted beef I would go to the store. Its like fish, I hear people say all the time they dip them in mustard to help get rid of the fishy taste. Its Mother FN fish. Its suppose to taste fishy. Keep the mustard away from my fish.

I love teal but won't eat mallards without putting them in water/vinegar overnnight.
