Now that spring has arrived, it's the perfect time to enjoy some fresh fish. If you're an angler, you can cook your stored catch from the freezer or enjoy a fellow fisherman's from the local market. For quick meal prep, use the FoodSaver® GameSaver® Quick Marinator to flavor your filets in under 30 minutes. You can also use a FoodSaver® Bag to marinate the fish overnight or longer. If using the FoodSaver® Vacuum Sealer's Marinate mode as part of the marinating process, you can experience its many advantages, including enhanced flavor and shorter overall marinating time. If marinating using a FoodSaver® bag, place the fish filets in the bag with marinade and gently shake to coat. Then seal until ready to cook.
