Re: How to care for your catch
Just remember the more salt in the slurry the faster the ice melts like throwing salt on your sidewalk in the winter. Some block ice helps.

Re: How to care for your catch
Quote:
Dont throw salt, use the salt water added to ice that is cubes, crushed, shaved, whatever you prefer and the salt (sea water) is not only to keep it colder, but it cools down the fish a ton faster from hot to cold. and this was even proven by Myth Busters doing it with a cold beer, they found this is the fastest way to cool a beer, think it did a 70 degree to 40 degree beer or something in like 2 minutes or something like that.

Re: How to care for your catch
The kosher salt really does cool it down a lot and fast too,What about breaking open the plastic bags of ice as the day progresses so as not to melt a bulk of the ice in one shot when you add the kosher salt. You can add the salt as the day progresses.

Re: How to care for your catch
I bleed EVERYTHING! Even fluke are better bled. you can see the difference from bled fish and non bled fish clearly!
I keep a 5 gallon bucket around, cut the throat, let it bleed into the bucket for five minutes, then off to the cooler. I think this is the most important step in caring for your catch.

Re: How to care for your catch
Very good advice, I have seen fish caught and then put on the wooden planks of a pier for 5 or 6 hours in the hot summer sun. Next day, the guy says, "man those fish are really funky! Did you try eating any of yours?" I recomend trimming ALL the DARK meat off any fish when preparing to freeze or cook. I find that this is where much of the oil is stored and it will migrate into the white flesh when frozen and intensify the "fishy" taste. I have found that bleeding fish will improve the appearance of the fillets, when I bled one bluefish and kept the second one un-bled the flavor of the two fillets when cooked FRESH was identical. Bleeding may improve the flavor of the fish after freezing? I will have to try that. I find it easiest to cut the fish at the tail, down to the bone on both sides and then it will bleed out easily.
