Using Vacuum Bags and Zipper Bags for Storing and Freezing Fish and Seafood
Vacuum bags work by removing air from freezer storage bags. You simply place your food in the freezer bag, seal the bag, and use the vacuum tool to air from the bag. Removing excess air cuts down on freezer burn.
Several types of bags and vacuum devices exist, ranging from inexpensive hand pumps to large models for bulk freezing.
One of the most popular options is a series of an economically priced, hand-held vacuum sealers which remove air from the specially designed food bags. To purchase a manual or electric vacuum sealer, shop online or visit major grocery stores and mass retailers.
The average cost of a vacuum sealer starter kit is very affordable and the kit includes a few quart size vacuum food bags. Refills of quart size bags or gallon size bags are available.
