Hey everyone,
So i live in Kamloops, but during February i took a trip to Vancouver Island and fished for some Spring, i ended up bringing home 5 fish.
i caught them and put them on ice in a foam cooler and left for home the same day, when i got back i went and bought myself a Vacuum sealer, so i could safely store the fish, and enjoy nice fresh salmon all summer long.
when i finally got home, i fillet all the salmon, and washed them off, i then sealed each fillet and they have been sitting in my freezer ever since. they look great, way better then when i used to store things in Ziploc bags.
this is the 2nd time since then i have thawed a fillet out and when i cook it, it has a very spongy like texture, and feels water logged..
its very hard to enjoy, its not nice and flakey, i really hope this salmon isnt ruined, i hate wasting anything ive killed, maybe there is a mistake made during the defrosting period? all i do is take it out of the freezer and put it on the counter for a few hours, or the fridge to defrost.
any advice is greatly appreciated. i have 8 fillets left and really hope i can figure out a way to get it back to the way it should be nice and flakey!
thanks for any advice.
