[Lightningx]

I mite get 1 from aldo

I didn’t get mine from Aldi, but I heard the ones from
There aren’t bad at all

Jason trust me, if you plan on eating fish months later, just get a vac seal machine. You will never regret it mate

[John Dory]

Yeah I vac seal fillets, sometimes bait.
Jas you should of used that silver whiting for snapper bait.

I'm about to cook I take the the fish Regroupement de prêt immo out from freezer and find the White spot on otherside of the fish. It safe to eat

You got a pic of it mate?

I already throw in the bin

BOnjour, I think I did not understand, can I know more if possible?

Hey LX do the vacuum sealed bags stop freezer burn ?

Well I usually eat my fish within the first month or 2 after vac sealing them mate.
I have never had freezer burn from any of the batches of fish I have brought out and eaten in that time

I don't keep my fish for a month so the bags wont help me I guess, after a trip the fish are all eaten in that week ! LOL

I buy good quality bait in bulk, then vacc seal them in quantities I would use in a single trip. This keeps the bait in good condition for a long time. Fish I catch, I eat straight away or vacc seal and share with my family rather than freezing. Another bonus of vacc sealing fish is it stops the odour from stinking out the freezer

Gday Hornet! I could be wrong, but from my understanding and experience, in order to avoid freezer burn, avoid contact with freezer floors/walls. It is the contact that creates the burn. Wrapping an air-sealed bag in something like newspaper for example, can assist to create enough insulation to avoid such issues.

Not sure Red about the "Contact Burn" thing, it must be something as you have experienced it, so would be interesting why and what that is.

But Freezer burn , , , , as found on page 43 of "The Book of Bugatti" , , , , it is written :

"Freezer burn happens when moisture in the outer layers of the food evaporates into the freezer air, leaving behind empty “dry” pockets in the tissue of the food"


Hence, with vac sealed fish, no air , , , , minimal freezer burn. I think the fish can still dehydrate within a sealed bag as the moisture moves out from the surface , , , , the ice around frozen fish sealed is evidence of that , , , , but granted it takes months and months for that to even start to happen in a sealed bag.

Oddly enough, when we started cleaning squid with a scaling bag, then packed them as we always have, straight into freezer bags rolled into tight logs (with still some residual air in the rolled bag log), the amount of freezer burn was dramatically reduced. So squid that only saw sea water kept better , , , , not sure if it is the salt content on the surface that increases the freezing and that has something to do with it.



Now Red, as found on page 70 of "The Book of Bugatti" , , , , it is written :

"If you have Contact Burn due to the fish touching the freezer wall , , , , you have too much fish and should offload some to Bugatti."
