Deboned Shad Filets
American Shad belongs to the Herring family (as does Mackerel) and thus is one of the healthiest fish because it has very high mono-unsaturated fat content and is high in Omega-3 poly-unsaturated fats. Fortunately, local fisherman skillfully debone the shad. They are during the shad run in May available in local fish markets for cooking and freezing. Fatty fish freeze well without losing their texture after slow thawing. |
Vacuum-Sealed Frozen Portions
The storage time of frozen food can be extended by preventing freezer-burn, which occurs when water, subliming from the frozen tissue-bound state in to the surrounding air-filled spaces, recrystallizes at the outer cold container walls, actually ‘freeze-drying’ the tissue. Vacuum packing of fresh wet filets before freezing eliminates the air and water pumping conditions. |
