Now that you've got a bunch of nice smoked salmon, you might want to keep some of it for a while (if you can keep yourself from eating it all). The best way to preserve this fish (other than canning, which we will cover in the future) is to vacuum pack it and freeze it. The normal home vacuum packers like the FoodSaver series are great for this task. For more info on vacuum packers, or for sales and service most models, click here.

I like to package most of my fish in smaller pieces, which are good for appetizers for a few people. Make sure you mark your packages well so you know which batch of fish is in each and how old it is. This will help you fine-tune your recipes because you can go back and compare notes.

Good smoking!
-Norm Nelson.
