Yes but you must draw the water out first.
Fresh frozen will thaw as mush if you dont draw the water off.
Use a 50 quart of so cooler with a drain hole. Newspaper on the bottom with a covering of Kosher salt. ( No iodine).
~ 1 pound of salt - 5 pounds of fish.
Layer the bunker drenched in salt for 24 hours - and then vaccum seal them.
Make sure the seal is tight. Freezer burned bunker is crap.
