Quickest way to rot a Striper is to let it sit in FRESH WATER. Don't even rinse the fillets in FRESH WATER.
We only wash it just before you cook it.
We kept tons of bass in the old days in Freezers set at 34 degrees and cover the fish with a salt water soaked towel or burlap bag. Never ever let the fish set in FRESH WATER> Ugly!
