Food (Fish) Sealers

Hi All,

Hope you all had a great weekend! 

I looked through the threads quick and didn't see anything off hand about the food sealers I see many of you using at the events to make your fish freezer ready.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I heard the Costco one is good, any one have that one?  ...any other suggestions?  Please include general cost of your recommendation 

THANKS!  ...I am sure my monster halibut is around the corner and I need to be prepared.

We got one from Costco and it works great.

It's black is all the details I know off the top of my head! 

Will check brand/model and ask wife what price was once I get home tonight!

We actually use it very infrequently (prefer to gorge on fresh fish  ), but when we do ceviche I vacuum seal and freeze for a few days before prepping.

Good luck on the Hali hunt!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

we have the costco one, and it works great.

I got one from Costco when they had it on sale. It has worked great sealing my Halibut, WSB and other fish. If you go fishing often a sealer is a must have.

i have the food saver professional II and it works great, even with some wetter items, cameron

I have the Food Saver. I forget which model, but it's solid. You need to make sure the food isn't too damp and that the opening of the bag is mostly dry to get a good seal. Also, you can resuse the bags. Just wash them and throw them in the freezer until you need them again. Cheaper that way 

We have a black FoodSaver V3825 that we got from Costco on sale for like $40....

I would go see what they have on sale right now...

Good thing about Costco is that you can take anything back no questions asked if you aint happy....even engagement rings...BTDT.

THANK YOU all for this feedback!  I had asked a friend to pick me up one from Costco same day I posted this, thinking $50 or so, maybe $100...it was $140!!!!  and another $30-40 for extra bags!    I will have her take it back and try to find one of these on Amazon or something.  $40 sounds a lot better!  THANKS AGAIN!   

 

  You can also use them to pack cloths, IE socks, tee's, anything that needs to stay dry! Empty cereal from boxes into a bag and shrink it down, fire kindling?  lots of otherstuff other than just foods.
