Help fresh or frozen

Have 2 6lbers (trout) that i froze a month ago. Will it be good to smoke? Do i thaw then cut into pieces or maybe saw while frozen.

a good brine and smoke cures a lot of funky fish ills... long ago smoked some reddish kings from the eel river, and even they tasted great... would never eat anything even slightly less than silver any other way!  As far as cutting it goes, I guess that depends on your knife...

Ray,

Try freezing it in water.  I get and old plastic  ice cream tub or milk carton and put my fish and ducks in it. Freeze it and you can keep it up to a year.  I just took out a few ducks I shot in Jan of 2007 and they were fine.  It does take up more space...but, no freeze burn.

Hey Ken, you actually submerge them in water and freeze the whole thing?  No freezer burn?  Never heard that before... but it does make sense i suppose... thanks for the info.

I've tried sawing frozen meat at home several times, best I did was with a pruning saw, still a pain in the butt.  Then you have tiny pieces of flesh all around,

Seriously, each time I tried it I'd wished I had figured out someting else.

I usually cut the head and a little bit of the tail off.  Then cut them in half before freezing.  Milk carton work, tupperware, or a old plastic tub.
