It’s tuna season along the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Coast, and keeping your catch cold is of the utmost importance when it comes to prepping sushi and sashimi back at home. Engel Coolers has been in the business of keeping things fresh and cool since 1962, and this summer they’ve released their new Fish/Kill bags which are rather unique in the marketplace. With an Engel exclusive reflective foil liner for better heat rejection from direct sunlight, these 35-, 48-, 60- and 72-inch flat-bottom bags with reinforced base provide best-in-class durability with 16mm insulation and leakproof, fiber-reinforced PVC shell. At ICAST ’26, The Fisherman had a chance to talk with the owner of Engel Coolers, Paul Kabalin, about this new insulated Fish/Kill Bags designed to keep fish colder, longer — and to survive the abuse of offshore fishing in the Northeast.
