Me and DW don't like fish fresh or canned, never cared much for it and never acquired a taste for it.
Beef, chicken, pork, turkey is more like it for us..
But, for taste and texture, you can freeze those meats after cooking and it generally does not have much effect on texture and taste.. The downside is you do need a lot of freezer space.
DW's company gave her a 19 lb turkey for Christmas, we already had a ham so we finally got around to cooking that last weekend.. I made up 9 plates of turkey "dinners" on heavy coated paper plates.. Covered them in plastic wrap to freeze them overnight then once frozen we vacuum packed them..
Still ate turkey the entire week but we now have quick turkey dinners in the freezer that can be reheated in about 4 minutes in the microwave.. The upside is they should be less than half the sodium than store bought frozen dinners!
