Late last summer I filleted several HSB in the 2-3 pound range and did not remove any of the red meat. It was marbled into the white meat such that it would not have been easily removed. It tasted very good for the first few months as I took a pound out of the freezer at a time. The last bag that I took out had been in the freezer for several months, maybe 6, and it had the occasional fishy taste to it. I am thinking that it does not age too well in the freezer. It was not bad by any means, just that the earlier batches did not have any pond taste at all.


Fish on!,
