I used to always freeze fish in plastic grocery bags and they would go
bad pretty fast. A shame ending a fishes
life by keeping them and not even using them. The carton method isn't
very practical for me, Any ideas for
freezing fish to last at least a month?

Cool, I will look into that. Very disappointing throwing fish or any
food for that matter away.

I know how you feel. I don't like to waste food or anything, but it's
worse to waste meat and fish. They died so we could eat them. We
should do so.

I had one roommate whose father, he told me, worked at a state mental
hospital. He would bring home a lot of spaghetti, butter, 64 oz. cans
of corn, and several other things, all labeled Not for Sale. I think
his father bartered them in return for working on private cars for the
kitchen staff.

It was bad enough that they, he and his girl friend, stole from the
mental hospital, but worse that they let the food rot sometimes. One
64 oz. can of vegetables had about 8 oz. eaten and nothing more and
after long enough, it rotted.

And it wasn't a prison, the residents weren't even criminals, and they
still stole from them.

I didn't want to fight with them when they were living htere, but
after they left, I wrote them a letter saying more or less what I have
here. I'm sure his parents took even more food for his house than
these two did.
