Anyone use this for fresh filed fish?

No, I have never used it for that purpose. I am going to assume you intend to freeze the fish after sealing, hence the reason for vacuum sealing. If my assumption is correct the way to proceed would be as follows. 1. Ensure NO pin bones remain in the filet. 2. Rinse and dry completely with paper towels. 3. Put filet in a vacuum seal bag and place in the freezer, lying flat, until the filet is VERY firm. 4. Remove from freezer and vacuum seal as you normally would. 5. Return to freezer. Hope this helps. This process also works well for steaks and pre-made hamburgers (minus the pin bones of course).

We use the Weston for beef, pork and yes for our bull head fish. Seems to work fine. If too much fluid though you have to blot dry as will not seal with too much fluid.

I wouldn't use it if you plan on consuming your fish. this product hasn't been approved for that.And it isn't FDA approved. i would improve my P.H and better water quality by increasing water changes, and increasing filtration. I hope this helps

I have used it for saltwater. I love to catch redfish with it. So yeah. It works.

Though I have not actually tried it, I think that straining oil would work fine. I have used mine to fish debris out of very fatty beef stock and did not have any of the fat resist passing through the mesh.

I just filled like a standard fish tank just below the lid and it seems to work well. I hope that helps!

I use it to clean and filet fish. Water supply from a garden hose and bucket under the drain pipe. It was well worth the money. A friend suggested buying this model and I am glad he did. It stays set-up in the garage until fishing season is over. I fold the legs to store and I leave the faucet fully assembled

I am about to purchase this but another customer has carefully opened the filter media holder and replaced the active carbon and filter floss with similar filter media used for fish since this is a basic filter. We already have such materials since we do own a 50gal fish tank. So you can go to the pet store and buy what you need rather than buying a brand new filter every month.

I bought one and it work's fine and does the job. We brought fresh fish home from Cape Cod several weeks ago with no problem. We used it travel back and forth from NC also and it works great

This one is for marine but they do make one for fresh water fish also and this is one of the best brands out there. I have been using it for years and my marine fish love it.

I do. And it drains any remaining water in the tray. Keeps them fresh. Make sure you follow instructions given on the container for particular vegetable or fruit.

Yes. I used it all the time, for salt water, used 18§ test line. Pull 20 lbs.reds all day long, sheephead, kingfish, and. macroe..

I just pour most the water out, then the rest of the water and the fish into a bowl. clean it with dish soap and water rocks included and refill. but fish back in.

This is intended for marine fish. You would be best served with something formulated specificly for fresh water fish.

Yeah, I bought some of these at a fair one time and they had them in fish bowls. I do the same, with plants also, I just clean them regularly

I use mine as a secondary filter on my 55 gallon tank. 1 angelfish, 1 plecostamus, 4 clown loaches and 6 cherry barbs. I don't think I would try it alone on anything over 20 gallons.

We use this for the magnum 350 canister filter and fill half the basket with it and half with charcoal....in my opinion you it won't hurt the fish if you use too much of this....it removes harmful ammonia. Hope this helps

I use this in my salt water fish tank. I made a overflow box and a in tank refugium
