釣った魚でどうやって旅をする？

One exciting moment during fishing is catching fresh fish. Nevertheless, the fish should be transported in a manner that keeps them fresh and at the same time easy to carry. The following are some of the methods that can help you bring your catch home effectively and still have tasty seafood.

Method 1: Use an Insulated Fish Kill Bag

An insulated fish kill bag is perfect for this purpose and has an exceptional insulation design which ensures that the freshness of the fish is not lost. Here are steps for using an insulated fish kill bag:

1. Place them in a neat insulated fish kill bag after capturing the fishes.
2. Make sure that you close the drain plug to hinder it from losing moisture.
3. The handles on this bag will facilitate you moving around with the fishes without their positions changing.
4. Remove immediately upon reaching home or next destination and process them.

Method 2: Use Ice Chest or Cooler Box

Another way to carry fish including huge catches is through ice chest or cooler box. Follow these steps while using this method:

1. Line the bottom of the ice chest or cooler box with a layer of ice or ice packs to maintain temperature.
2. Place the caught fish into the ice chest or cooler box, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
3. Place another layer of ice or ice packs above the fish to maintain low temperatures around them.
4. Upon reaching home or the next destination, promptly remove the fish and process them.

Method 3: Use Cooling Bags or Ice Packs

In case you don’t have an ice cooler or ice chest, you can still use ice packs or freezer bags to keep the fish fresh. You can use this method like this:

1. Put the caught fish into clean freezer bags removing as much air as possible.
2. Cover fish with enough ice packs or ice.
3. Tie the bags without allowing any air in.
4. After arrival at home / next destination, remove the fish and process soonest.

Comparing Methods and Guidance for Choosing

The 保温フィッシュキル・バッグ is by far our best option between all three methods but mostly if it’s a short trip or you are carrying few catches. But when big catches have been made or more time is required to get back home, an ice chest / cooler box would be better. If not available, one may just put them in freezing bags using cold packs too.

Whichever method you select, keep your fish fresh. Once you catch the fish ensure they are processed immediately and choose how they should be transported that will make them taste good even upon reaching home sweet home still delicious and fresh.
