Freeze them!
Doctor, Yes it has been working for me since learning about that method many years ago. In the '70's we used to save and properly clean the paper milk cartons that had a "wax" coating, add the fillets, usually perch, top it off with water and freeze. I have used them 3 years later just as you did. As long as there's NO air in the container they last a long time. The only thing to watch out for is if the freezer had a mechanical breakdown and the foods had started to thaw and then be re-frozen. Your best tool was using your nose. These days we use freezer bags and I have my last 2 Lbs. of Perch to feast on from last Fall.
If anyone wants to try this, just be sure to use plenty of water to 'insulate' the fish and be sure to squeeze out all the air. I let the bags set in a cardboard box so they'll take a sort of squared shape with a flat bottom until frozen. Then to save a little space I'll remove the box.
