I personally don t freeze them, but a lot of people do.

I also know it s a regional thing, i think on the east coast, they taste better. Like bluefish up north are better that ours down here and our mullet are better than south Florida mullet.
Up here we use mullet for bait. Mullet run signals the unofficial start of bluefish in the surf.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
