Lost Filets Due To Contractor Stupidity: Question on Fish Size

[fishweewee]

Thanks folks, appreciate it.

You should have been around for the smell, it was breathtaking to open up that freezer.

The squid, which was not vacuum sealed, had decomposed to such a state that it was liquefied and unrecognizable. There were some clams mixed in is well.

The bottom of the freezer was a liquid putrid mess. I removed everything that was vacuum bagged and tossed it, and then plugged the freezer back in so the bottom sludge would congeal a bit - easier to clean up that way.

Bleach works wonders on cleaning up a freezer - most of the smell is now gone, thank God.

The striper filets and eels are still recognizable surprisingly.

I say are, because I'm saving up all the bottom sludge and some of the putrid fish (it's outside in a plastic bag). I'm gonna box it up in a creaky styrofoam cooler box and ship it to the contractor.
