When I keep that many fish, I immediately place them in cooler with ice.
After I have 20 fillets done, I then wash/rinse each one and inspect them to make sure all bones are removed. Each fillet is then layed out and dried with paper towels. Then I will package them in sets of 10 or 20 in freezer bags. Sometimes I'll use the vacuum seal packages or will vacuum seal them the next day. Usually from start to finish which includes all cleanup, I can process about 25-30 per hour.

Good system.
