Title: Lox: Freeze whole or slice and freeze
Post by: bostonsmoker on March 31, 2012, 06:14:26 AM
I have about 2 pounds of excellent cured and smoked lox. I won't go through it all. Should I slice up the remaining and freeze it, or should i freeze the whole filet? Thanks for any guidance!

After I cold smoke my salmon I cut it into pieces, vacuum pack and freeze.  Unless you're anticipating needing  a big piece in the future I'd go that route.

I did the same thing.  Chose to keep it in one piece figuring it would have less surface area to be affected by the freeze.  Also, I never know how I'll end up using it once I take it out, so keeping it in once piece gives me options.

I also cut mine into sections, vacuum seal and freeze. That way I can take out the amount I need.

Ditto on freezing pieces rather than slices.
