A quick reminder for the fish smokers
« on: August 07, 2013, 01:25:57 PM »
I have been seeing a ton of vacuum packed fish pics lately, and im seeing alot of air bubbles in packages,  just a quick reminder to put the fish in the fridge and let it thoroughly cool for several hours before you vacuum pack it, or the heat and moisture from the internal heat will bubble or baloon the pack and allow it to start to decompose and rott even if its smoked  :tup: every year more then one person will say "here try mine" and ill open it, and its rotting  :puke: Or also at the least it will freezer burn. This is especially important for those that do not freeze after packing and just toss it on the shelf.

Tight lines and smoke on!  :tup:

Good point Kc.  I always cool all of my smoked meats and/or jerky prior to packaging.

I never package, Ziplock bag and into the fridge it goes. It never sticks around long enough to be worth storing :chuckle:

2 pink seasons ago my neighbor was a beginner and vacc'd all his meat warm, and all his packs balooned up and the meat rotted it was nasty. That's why just for insurance now we toss it all in the freezer or fridge. I doubt it could happen to leathered up jerky but fish heck yes.

I smoked fish for the first time a couple weeks ago and did not know this. I vacuum sealed it while it was still warm and it went right into the fridge where it still is. How long before it starts to go bad? It still looks good for now.
