"However, extra care is needed when handling these fish in the field and during processing. They have a very delicate flesh and gets soft quickly when not iced properly. So, the recommendation is to ice the fish as soon as you catch them and
clean them as soon as you can, keeping the fillets on ice or in a refrigerator until ready to cook." If you make a slurry of ice and salt water and put your whites and sandies in this as soon as you take them off the hook they will cook up just like specks and wont get mushy.
