Redfish on the 'half shell' (skin & scales on) doesn't really freeze well IMHO.
The fats and oils in the red meat will quickly turn rancid even when frozen and leach into the white meat lending to a stronger "fishy" smell and taste.
IF you do freeze them be sure to rinse them thoroughly after thawing and add a little ground ginger just prior to seasoning & cooking to help neutralize the odors ;-)

Honestly, I scaled it and fillet it but left the skin on. It went into a water bath and was frozen shortly thereafter. So I should thaw, remove the skin, and rub the powdered ginger on, or soak it with the ginger in the water?

I’ll be sliding into town March 10-14. Can you have it warm and sunny for me then? And also, how about having the fish biting??? :D
