fresh is best if your going to eat them. if you freeze them , just feed to the dogs or neighbour

thai fish cakes
Hi Guys
I recommend thai fish cakes once frozen! Even before freezing.
Poach the fish, mush it up with some chilli, lemon, egg, bread crumbs, coriander, lemongrass. Fry a little. Awesome!

depends on the use
Have never had the flesh go mushy, so bait wise fine, for frying wouldnt do unless fresh, for smoking never had an issue!

We caught 8 salmon between the 2 of us last year down Esperance way , had some of it in the freezer for up to 4 weeks and still cooked up deep fried and some in the pan really nice.
