I've posted this before, but.....short of a vacuum packer......

Put your fillets in serving sizes in Ziplock Freezer bags....fill your sink with water.....Close all but the very corner of the bag and carefully submerge it in the water, with just the un-opened corner sticking out.....this forces out all the air.....carefully go deeper and deeper until the opened corner is just above the water line, then seal it.....dry off the bag, and layer in the freezer to freeze as fast you can...

ALMOST as good as vaccumed packed.....have had frozen fish that was over 9 months old and it was still yummy....

I do the same thing with herring for bait when I get it in the spring......
