Guest Andrea Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Steve are you referring to those Foodsaver things or something different?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 yes, andrea. a shrinkwrap package for fish and wildlife freezer packages. i want a good one, one that works the best. thanks. I have a the FoodSaver Advanced design. Works great! Bought it on sale. I have two deer completely vacuum sealed. But it will do fish as well! The trick is to not vacuum it to the point where the liquid goes into the pump! It also depends on how much you want to spend! Cabela's has them up to around $1500! But then that is probably the commericial units. Here is what I have. http://www.foodsaver.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productid=4181 Here is what Cabela's offers! http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/common/search/search-results1.jsp?QueryText=vacuum+sealers&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=vacuum+sealers&noImage=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a Foodsaver but it seems to be on the blink lately. It's the Foodsaver Vac300. Might be better off with the one like LifeNRA is talking about.

bulldawg Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I have a good Foodsaver. It works great, but honestly, I freeze my fish in a ziplock quart sized bag, and fill it with water and seal it with the water to the top. Fish will keep for 2 years or even a little longer. The foodsaver way works, but the water way works best. But, for game, the Foodsaver is the way to go. Mine cost about $150, and it's well worth it. Just a tip though, only use the Foodsaver bags. The Black & Decker ones from Walmart will work in it, but are somewhat of a pain in the butt to work with. Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
