The meat will stay fresh for 2 days on ice no water.that means open the drainplug or elevate off the bottom of the cooler.Rinse with fresh water only just before u cook it.Salt water before that.Cuttin the gills does nothing its like poking one hole in a can.If u slice it just under the chin in that small V(thats where the heart is) an one lice just before the tail u'll drain most the blood.I remove the fillet from the carcass.then ride the knife bout 1/4 in.off the skin to eliminate any red meat thats the fat where the bad stuff is harbored u want pure white meat wonderfull fish one of my favorites.
