If the fish are freezing - Get them a jacket

A nice jacket of beer batter
If that doesn’t warm them up, a nice dunk in some hot oil usually fixes the problem

Re: Freezing fish
My bunch can usually eat em as fast as I can catch em. But we do eat a lot of fish all year, so for personal stash I vacuum seal. For give aways I just put em in a bag and freeze em. For large quantity fish fry portions I try to catch em a day or 2 b4 and just keep em on ice, if not water bag em.

Re: Freezing fish
Ziploc and water. Make sure to squeeze all the air pockets out or that will give you freezer burn taste. I've had it a few times properly frozen this way for 2-3 years, no issues.
Vacuum seal works too and thaws faster but I've just never felt the need.

Re: Freezing fish
Vaccum seal them and you will never have a problem. Also you guys that are drying and partially freezing get rid of those cheap vac sealers. Get a chamber and you'll be able to vac seal wet fish. Also the bags are much cheaper like 1:10 the price.

I do pretty much the same thing.

If I am holding out for a fish fry for a family get together a few months down the road, we always dip the fillets in water and lay them on a cookie sheet and freeze them for a nice ice glaze. Once they are frozen we use the vacuum sealer on them.
Probably a little over kill but they sure taste fresh caught.

Interesting
I may try that instead of just vacuumed packed
