[QUOTE=DeVena]  
Years ago, we have an aquarium that “died” because of sick feeder guppies. Every fish in the tank died, include a really large knife fish we called Blade. DeHusband said he’d take care of it and, not wanting to deal with dead fishies, I let him. Imagine my surprise the next morning when I opened the freezer to find Blade’s body. There was screaming. It wasn’t pretty. (DeHusband was going to take the dead fish to the dealer to prove something or other.)

When I was little, it was standard procedure for me to freeze my dead fish. One of my favorite things (besides fish) was mummies, and freezing the fish was a way of making them into mummies. Like the Iceman, only with fins.
