Vacuum-Sealed and Frozen Fish Fillets from Cabo

After a day of successful fishing in San José del Cabo, many anglers ask: How can I take my fish home? The answer is simple — vacuum-sealing and freezing. It’s the safest, cleanest, and most efficient way to preserve your catch until it reaches your table back home.

Daliken Sportfishing helps you every step of the way: filleting, sealing, freezing, and preparing your fish for transport — legally and safely.

Why Vacuum-Sealing Matters

  • Preserves freshness for up to 48 hours during travel
  • Prevents freezer burn and bacterial contamination
  • Compact and airline-friendly packaging

  • Check airline limits for weight and customs declarations
  • Declare your fish at U.S. or Canadian customs if required
