Vaccum Sealing and Freezing Fish

mod_auger:
I was wondering how many people out there freeze their fillets, and use a vaccum sealer to do so. I've been looking at buying one for quite some time, and was wondering what everyone's experiences or opinions are on this topic.

we bought one in 93. when i lived in AK we used it all the time. now we are lucky if we use it 3x a month. it will keep your fish & game about 2 - 3 x longer then just butcher paper. almost all the fish i keep now is eaten right away. we have some moose that is about 2 yrs old and it is still good.

I bought one before deer season last year and I really like it. I vacuum packed my deer cuts from last year and those packages are still good. I buy a lot of chicken when it is on sale and always vacuum pack it. Also, did the same with sweet corn so I can have "fresh" sweet corn during the winter. Tastes as good as it did coming off the cobb. It will pay for itself in few years I think.

I've been thinking about buying one but I'm wondering if they do as good a job as the commercial vacuum sealers (or at least close)? Also, how have you found the cost when you factor in the special bags they require.
