Cook then freeze or just freeze them raw?

I freeze them while they are still alive.

I freeze them while they are still alive.

If already dead? I got some frozen raw sandflea... I was wondering if I should cook them and then re-freeze...

If they are fresh dead you can still freeze them raw with no problem. I would not freeze them if they were already frozen.

Some people blanch them before freezing, put them in a mesh chum bag and put in boiling water for about 5-10 seconds. If they are alive, I usually just freeze them as-is.

refrigerate them raw for a few days in a heavy(alot of salt) salt brine, then vacuum pack and freeze them. they will be almost as good as alive and they will look like they are still alive.(never as good as alive, but real close)
