You better read the archives a little better. I would say the majority wrap the fish in a wet towel and then freeze them in PLASTIC bags. eventually the cloth would freeze dry causing the fish inside to freeze dry. I would wrap in plastic and get out as much air as possible and freeze. Plastic is not going to hurt the fish and is a precaution against freezer burn as long as the air is removed.
