Looking for something in the deep freeze the other day and found a bag of fish filets that I thought had long been gone. I always freeze my filets in water. I started doing the math and those fish were either eight or nine years old. I know this because I did not bring any fish back on my last four trips. Shaking my head I initially thought what a waste of good fish --- 6 beautiful filets. I thawed them out, cut off a small filet and put it on the griddle with a tad of oil. It tasted just fine ...... that is what I thought was unbelievable. We had fish tacos that night and all the fish got eaten.

Yes I freeze my fish in water as well. I think the longest I have ever went was 3 years. I could tell a wee bit of difference but still OK.
I like to soak my fish in a combination of milk AND Italian dressing together. There is just something about the combination that imparts a good flavor while taking any strong taste away. My crew is finicky in the extreme, if it has any fishy flavor at all, even a tiny bit, they are like "EWWWWWW". Try the homemade marinade if you never have (lots of people use milk, lots of people use Italian dressing, but hardly anyone uses them in combination.

Immodium or no?"
Yeah ..... I figured the least of my worries would be a good case of colon blow but that side effect never raised its ugly head.
I have frozen fish for years in bags or jugs of water with good success. I never would have imagined fish being good after such a long time.

This thread reminded me of the 250,000 year-old mammoth that was served for dinner. It too, must have been properly frozen.

I freeze my fish in water as well. Went back and forth a few times between dry (vacuum packed) and water and water won out. "Deep Freeze" is the key. Not to overstate the obvious but frost free freezers do not store food well for longer periods of time. The constant thaw/freeze cycles are hard on frozen food.
