Salmon
 

i have a 13 pd salmon that i caught lthis winter, i froze the whole fish. Does anyone know if salmon gets nasty after freezing it?

We have never frozen salmon at the restaurant, but we have with cod monk ect.. thaw it out and smell it... did you gut the fish b4 freezing it?

yeah i gutted it but i hope i didnt ruin it by freezing it whole. it was my first atlantic salmon and i didnt know how to prepare it for freezing

i've made some tasty thai fish stew with frozen salmon. use coconut milk as a base and then go from there..a little green curry, some fresh basil, parsnips, straw mushrooms... yummy stuff.

oh and lots of ginger

thaw it out and grill her up Jigger :rotf3:

i head to ireland saturday for surf and salmon :rotf3: :rotf3: :rotf3:

I freeze salmon. it isn't anywhere near as good but still tasty.

Eben's got it. fish stew baby...... :drool: :drool: :drool:

The problem with freezing salmon is that the fat will still oxidize in the freezer. This is why most high quality frozen salmon is vac-pac'd (no oxygen=no oxidation). If you vac pac'd it then you should be good. It will be good for 3 months, un-vac pac'd, but not great..

I caught a 9 1/2 pounder last fall and ate it for 6
months; it was still O.K. (not great) in March. I
dried it out as much as possible before freezing.
