FREEZING The simplest and most natural way of preserving fish. Select the fish for freezing. If it’s a small fish like dilis , wash and freeze it right away. If it’s large like bangus , remove scales and entrails, then trim fins and wash. Wrap fish in a plastic wrap or put it in a properly labeled container (name and date). Freeze immediately.
