as long as u dont see any discoloring in the fillet then the fish will be good. u can tell when the fish is freezer burned. best bet is go get a vacum sealer man...costco always has the best deal on them. also in there lil booklet they give for free, theres a coupon 2 save more.

hmmmmmm u do it the opposite way i have heard of TD...my friend puts the fillets in a ziplock bag with as much air out as possible. then puts it in another ziplock bag with water so it seals it like a block when frozen. so no water touching any part of the fillet.
