Question about frozen LING: HELP

[Faithfully Fishing]

First thanks for the many recipes. I can't wait to try some of them.

I noticed that when I froze some ling that they thaw in a spongy like texture.

If I drain them and fry them up they are ok to eat. If I try to bake them they are like a dry sponge. YUCKS.

Any suggestions on freezing ling. I have some in the freezer that I don't want to waste, but I don't want to fry either.

I really wanted to try Mom's secret ling cake recipe. Can i still boil them to save them or what?

HELP with the ling............
