Anyone know of a good reliable vacuum sealer that works well with wet foods? There are some that won’t seal if food is wet like fresh caught salmon, etc.

We’ve had good luck with the Food Saver, but we’ve never done whole, fresh-caught fish. Are you going to freeze?

You should be able to pat it dry, stick it in there, and seal - the newer ones have a ‘moist’ setting. Husband assumes the vacuum action will be a little more gentle on that, but the vacuum-seal won’t be as complete, so if you’re freezing long-term, you might get some freezer burn.

They have one called a ‘Gamesaver’ that might have different features, but we don’t have experience with it:

Freeze it first, then seal and put it back in the freezer.
