How to avoid water soaked fish after defrosting?

So I defrost my fish by removing from packaging adding to a Ziploc bag submerged in cold water in the fridge after a hour or two when I check on it there is always some water in the Ziploc bag most likely the ice from defrosting and the fish is soaked in water - takes quite a lot of paper towels to pay dry Am I doing something wrong? submitted by /u/mad_confiscation
