Re: Keeping Fish Fresh ~ Vacuum Sealers
 

I have a food saver P2440 - you cant cut the bags to your desired length and seal them on your own too...


Have had it for a few years now, once you ge the hang of how to use it, it's pretty simple think it was about $125
I rarely freeze fish, but sometimes you gotta do it and below is post sea bass a few years ago..

i use the ziploc vaccuum pump being i eat fish 3-4 times a week it is rarely in my freezer longer then 3-4 months and it works great. I did just eat cod from our mass trip last july and it was fine!

Joey - I made fish cakes a few weeks back from that COD blood bath, let it defrost and was skeptical about the smell once I cut the seal but it really wasnt anything like I feared... very surprised as I know COD and Ling get a distinct/certain eu' de toilette after laying around a few days..."if not take care of that is"

The FoodSaver GameSaver DeluxePlus worked great for me so far. Bagged up over 200 meat and fish and no real problems. You can't go to fast or it overheats & you have to wait a bit for it to start working again.

I've got a Sears Seal N Save. At the time I bought it, it was the same as the foodsaver and even can use their bags, but at a 30 dollar savings. I've had it for many years now.

I have a vacuum sealer that I don't use anymore! Don't think they work as well as double wrapping with Seran and putting them in a ziplock bag! JMVVHO

Use to do the two layers of Saran wrap then aluminum foil, that worked pretty good for me!
