I need some advise from my friends up NORTH. I will be in the Kenai area in late July and if all goes well, should be bringing home some fish (reds and halibut mostly). My friends from the NW recommend taking COOLERS(s) as luggage to transport fish. However, almost everyone I have spoken to in Alaska recommends the FISH BOXES that can be purchased from fish processors or local stores in Soldotna. Which method is best? Which is the most ecomonically? Which can handle the most fish? Thanks, in advance, for your help. Good fishing. Wes.

PS: Should I bring my own vacuum sealer? Thanks.
