smoked trout question

[uncoolperson]

not a fish eater, so I don't know much about how to handle it... I can fry it and grill it for other people and that's about it.

if smoked trout is vacum sealed, would it be okay to send to someone in iraq?

Great question I would be interested in the answer to.

I don't see why you couldn't.  An old neighbor of mine would take steelhead out to an Indian reservation to have them make Indian Candy for him.  I believe they would smoke it and basically make 'jerky' from it.  He would get it back in vacuum sealed packages...and I don't think they had to be eaten right away.

Sure!  If cured right and hard smoked first

They need to be REALLY dry and cured prior to being smoked.

   Drier the better.  Mold and bacteria don't like dry and definitely vacuum pack it.  Probably better to make him some venison jerky, I sent some to Watzhunt in JP for Christmas.

Smoke it then can it!  I will preserve it unless seal is broke.

Smoke it and pack with dry ice.

Smoked and vacuum packed fish still has to stay cool or it can spoil. Canned would be better to ship.
