Title: smoked trout question
Post by: uncoolperson on March 26, 2011, 09:22:51 AM: 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?

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.

:yeah: 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.

+1

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