Just wet a towel and ring out the excess water, wrap the fish up completely in it, making sure that the tail and all fins are covered and put it in a bag and place in the freezer.

If the fish is to big wrap it up in wet news papers and then in a garbage bag. Making sure you push all the air out of it that you can.
