Striper
Master removes the red meat from your fillets, but if your guide
doesn't, when you get home after your fishing trip remove as much of
the red meat that runs down the center of each fillet. This is easily
done using a sharp knife and making a long angled slice down the length
of the fillet along the red meat. This will split the fillet down the
middle into nice sized serving pieces.
Rinse and
clean your striper fillets with cool water and bag them into serving
sized portions. As a rule 1 lb. of fillets serves two people.
Zip-lock
type freezer bags make the perfect container to keep your fillets in.
Cover the
fillets with water, and add a few drops of lemon juice. The ice once
frozen, will protect the fillets against freezer-burn and allow you to
keep your fillets
fresh for 4-6 months.
