It's always wise to save water for the dry season
Preparation To Preserve Fish
Start your preparation by cleaning your fish as soon as possible after you catch it. Experts say that fish meat deteriorates 200 times faster than beef, so the fresher the better. Some things that you can do to preserve fish and keep them fresh include: keeping them in the live well or on a stringer until you are done fishing, keeping the cleaned fish in a creel that is dipped into the water occasionally to keep them cool, or putting the fish on ice in a cooler after they are cleaned.
Scale your fish with a plain old spoon and decide if you want the skin left on or not. For catfish and bullheads, you will want to skin them. Generally, you should remove the heads from all fish you wish to preserve.
After you clean them and you are ready to work on them, decide if you will want to put them up whole or as fillets, steaks, or chunks. The method you wish to use will sometimes dictate how you should cut them.
