Good point about drying the fish. I have seen that the guys with Vac Seal machines, lay the fillets out on paper towel for a while and then Vac Seal them, they swear by it.

Yeah vac packing is great for lots of stuff. We use them daily at my work.

Another great idea is to fillet your catch and vac pack it with a sauce or herbs and spices. The flavour will soak in to the fish, and then once defrosted you can either cook it normally or you can poach it still in the bag (known as 'sous-vide'). If you like poached fish, this is the way to go.
Is it just me. Or does the idea of cooking food /microwaving food / or in this case poaching food in plastic bag or utensil a bad idea??
The amount of chemicals used in plastics is enough to make people sick. Let alone heat up or cook food in them..
You are probably right. We only use purpose made food safe BPA free plastic.. but really who knows with this stuff. Its like the whole mobile phone in your pocket topic. They say its safe but who knows.
