Trout, at last!
Finally caught my first keepable trout for the season...nice 12" rainbow. Cleaned, vacuum sealed and in my freezer to await some brothers and sisters, until I have enough to smoke 'em.
Cuz smokin' them trout will get you ripped!!!

Good man Oswald. Try putting your cleaned fish in a good plastic seal-able bag or vacuum seal I guess is good?
Cover fish with just enough water and a small pinch of salt. Place upright in your freezer so as to have the fish in a block of ice. Stays fresh as the day yah caught it and no freezer burn.

I used to store them, temporarily, in my belly.
Even if I caught just one. |

We freeze fresh caught shrimp in freezer bags filled with water until ready to cook. No freezer burn and they last a long time frozen that way.

LOL!!!
Okay, once I'm gettin' 'em ready for the smoker, I'll snap a pic of the lot of 'em. Frozen vacuum sealed fish aren't really ready for their close up...Mr DeMille. |

Twas a beautiful evening for fishin' tonight. With the little woman off on a hen's night with a friend, I took the opportunity to stay out to about 11. Gorgeous full moon rising, making it perfect, though started to get a bit chill...
Nevertheless, two more troutsies added to the freezer tonight. Need to pick up some fresh Dill sprigs when we go grocery shopping tomorrow as I'll be firing up the smoker in the next day or 3. I'll post some pre- and post-smoked pics after that. |
