All the frozen fish I’ve ever seen was either vacuum sealed (best) or frozen and then sprayed with cold water to create a shell of ice(second best). My vacuum sealed fish tastes as fresh as the day i caught it and thaws quicker than a 10lb block of ice does.

Freezing them in chlorinated water does this. I freeze mine in well water......tastes like the day they were caught.
