Over the years I've found that striper fillets have a limited shelf-life in the freezer. I don't like keeping them more than 2-months and for the first time in forever, I've got a 2 month inventory on hand. So this morning's 29" fish went back into the water with the 4 other sub-28" I caught this AM. Note to @george .
Nice morning out there, sure beats sitting at home reading the drivel in the newspapers and doing the crossword puzzles...

If you have a frost free freezer any fillets will get the moisture sucked right out of them in no time. I bought a stand alone freezer that is not frost free and it makes a big difference in shelf life.

Is that more true of striper filets as we consume fluke or weaks 8 - 9 months later (vacuum sealed and not a frost free freezer) and they are still delicious? I only catch one or two stripers a year off the beach so not much experience and we usually eat half that night.

BTW, caught Keepah #12 today and with the heat, I was in no mood to fillet or cook it today, so another fish got a stay of execution...
