I believe they sell less than $200.00 Comes with two rolls of plastic bags (recylable), bottle attachments and a video instructions. It is important that the fish is dry or frozen before vacuuming.

It's OK, better than freezing it in a plastic bag. I'm looking for a used commercial model. Will cost a few pennies.

I've had the Foodsaver 1050 by Tilia for a couple years now.  It's great for freezing salmon but I find that I use it to bag everything I freeze.  Handy thing to have.
