Kept ice cold, ling are absolutely delicious fresh..... Tried a new way of freezing them this week. After placing them in a beyond freezing saltwater ice slurry to thoroughly clean the fillets, I then place them on paper towels to dry them off. Once most of the water is off of the fillets, I place the fillets on a cookie sheet lined with saran wrap and flash freeze them for about 20 minutes. Then they are vacuum sealed. This was recommended to me by a fellow fisherman who swears by the process to the point that he claims you cant tell the difference between fresh vs frozen. Can`t wait to try them myself!
As much as we do have restrictions on our catch that I personally to do not agree with, responsible bag limits to some degree are not a bad idea. 20/25 Ling, 2 flounder and possibly a cod is a lot of meat, let alone some delicious eats.
