Caught a few little bluegil today and was wondering whats the best way to keep them safe and also taste good, I wanna catch about 25 more before I fillet them up and chow. RIght now there still "the whole fish" i havnt made the fillets on them yet and they are in a zip lock bag in the freezer

If you're gonna freeze them you need to fillet them first and then freeze the fillets.

I agree with Tokoyo Tony and all I can add is that you fill the plastic bag or container with water (tap water, not lake water).

For some reason this keeps them fresher and eliminates freezer burn.

if they are small i would not fillet them i would scale them instead- you get alot more meat
