Sebastes,
It always kills me to see people @ snow creek or Neah bay with blood shot fillets of sea-bass/ling and some times butt while @ the cleaning station.I stayed next to a couple guy's @ snow creek one time that didn't bleed there sea-bass fillets #1 then proceeded to let the fillets soak in fresh water in the sink of there cabin for a couple hours before they vauum packed them.We were just laughing in side and saying I wonder how it's gonna taste in a month or so.Not bashing east siders but they were from the east side of the state.Good luck,
