Point me in the direction of a good one and anything in general I need to know about them
Any reason fish wouldn’t do well being vacuum sealed? Seems like I may have heard something about that before but can’t remember for sure

Depending on your budget, take a look at chamber sealers. You can seal liquids and the bags are much more affordable.
I do fish all the time in LEM vacuum chamber sealer. I don’t freeze bone in fish.
Bags run 5-12 cent a piece when you buy in bulk. Machines cost $1000 but can be had for $800 if LEM emails you a discount around Father’s Day or something. I’ve got 2 machines and no complaints after 4500 bags.
I had a Cabelas vacuum sealer before and it did a great job.
Food saver works well for me. Just dry off the fish before you try to vac and seal. The chamber sealers are the best but are much larger so not as easy to store. You can even vac/seal wet items like sauce or soup in a chamber easier. Mine is on the kitchen counter and we use it on a regular basis for meat, fish, cooked food, cheese, pizza, and everything we freeze or store for a long period in the frig. This is my second one as I wore one out. Best purchase I ever made. My next will be a chamber I think.
I have a LEM vacuum sealer and think it runs circles around food saver and I’ve had a food saver as well.
My LEM doesn’t have the cool down time in between bags. I can cut and seal 30 bags without pausing then stuff and vacuum seal them as well. Really the only difference but it’s nice
After looking at a few, it came down to Weston and Avid Armour. I ended up purcahsing the Avid on Amazon and couldn't be happier.

If you plan on using it for any amount of time go ahead and bite the bullet and get a good one. I went through two of the food saver cheapies before I got a good one. I researched and ended up with this'un. It's been great.

Pro Tip: If you have a teenage son and he likes the idea of the sucking action, at least make sure he knows where the release valve is.
What I hate most is making the bags. I have to cut every single bag, then seal one end. Id like to be able to pull out the length of bag I want, seal then cut it. Any of them have that option?
I have a food saver one like this one. Its been working fine for 2 years now. Like was said above, make sure you pat anything dry before sealing.

I have a LEM chamber vac that I bought for my chicken processing. It was expensive but well worth it. Wish I had bought it years ago instead of dealing with crappy vacuum seal products.

It is a $1000 unit just about everywhere. Once in a while you can find it on Costco’s online store for $650, with free shipping. (It weighs around 80 lbs.)
