1. massage all fillets IMMEDIATELY after cleaning. Really give them a thorough squeezing between fingers and thumbs to remove ANY traces of blood from the flesh. Massage all reddish-color areas until it turns pure white. Rinse the freshly cleaned fillets, but . . .
2. . . . do NOT store them in water. Ever. Pat them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel, cover them with plastic wrap, refrigerate or freeze in as tightly wrapped, air-voided packages as possible.
3. If you are going to freeze the plastic-wrapped packages, put them inside ANOTHER plastic Baggie or Ziploc or wrap them up a SECOND time.
4. A final personal preference before cooking is to PAT- DRY THEM AGAIN. That's it. Enjoy your fish. And don't forget to serve lemon wedges on the side.
