Fish storage tray and dividers and method of storing frozen fish

The method of freezing and storing fish, comprising:

• connecting a first upright elongated flexible plastic strip at one end to a second upright elongated flexible plastic strip, separating the opposite unconnected ends of the two strips to form a fish-receiving compartment whose walls converge toward the connected end;
• connecting the opposite ends of the second strip to the first end of a third elongated flexible plastic strip lying on the opposite side of the second strip away from said fish-receiving compartment to form a second fish receiving compartment having side walls converging toward said connections between said second and third strips and with the converging ends of the first and second-fish-receiving openings alternately facing in opposite directions;
• connecting additional elongated flexible plastic strips in the same manner as above to form a matrix of alternatively facing fish-receiving compartments, said connecting steps interconnecting said strips to normally compress said strips into engagement with one another such that the compartments formed when the strips are forced apart will snugly conform to the sides and tail of the smallest fish being stored;
• placing the interconnected strips within a tray upright along their longitudinal edges;
• placing fish within the fish-receiving openings, with the fish lying on a lengthwise edge and supported by the strips;
• and
• freezing the fish in the tray.
