Mmmm..... nearly missed the "first topic" reference, what do you know that I don't Olds!!!!???? [}:)][:D]

Glad to be of some help, it will take a bit of time to research as I obviously want to make sure the information posted is as accurate as possible!

One of the Microbiologists at work has offered some help with research and proof reading which will be a great help.[:)][:)]

I should have added that if anyone has any ideas, information that they feel should be included or suggestions feel free to email me... as always several heads are better than one!![:D][:D][:D]

One thing I won't be covering is Food Hygiene and Food Poisoning from a commercial aspect apart from maybe appropriate generic advice, it will just be from a smoking for fun point of view! [:D]

Manxman:
Check out the free .pdf publication from the U of Alaska-Fairbanks Extension Service on smoking salmon.....considerable info on parasite/microbial content/control in processing and smoking salmon.
www.uaf.edu/coop-ext/publications/freepubs/FNH-00325.pdf

Also check out this site: http://www.sfos.uaf.edu/directory/faculty/himelbloom/ Dr. Himelbloom is DEFINITELY familiar with microbiology of Alaskan seafood. As Associate Professor at UAF, he's one you'd likely want on your list of resources as a contact for any question about "dinky bugs"[8D]

Thanks Kummock,

The first site is really useful for anyone smoking fish at home and the second one will be helpful with my background reading, I have already got a fair bit of information sorted.

I had planned to mention parasites, viruses, fungus, tapeworms and nematodes along with bacteria but I don't want to make the article too long or too serious, although it is obviously a serious subject!

The last thing I want to do is bore people or scare the holy **it out of them!!!!! [:D][:D][:D][:D]

Just doing a bit of background reading with regards to Food Hygiene and Food Poisoning, an interesting point from the US Centres (sorry Centers!) for Disease Control and Prevention states that 97% of all cases of food poisoning result from improper food handling, the ratio of occurences in restaurants and institutions to home preparation is 4:1 and the most common causes are:

1. Leaving food at temperatures that allow bacterial growth.
2. inadequate cooking or reheating.
3. cross contamination.
4. infection in the food handler.

Bit of "food for thought"!!

Manx......I think that I can not only speak for myself, but for this forum in general. We do appreciate any contributions from our members. Knowlege opens many doors and I still have millions to open myself. I'll be looking forward to read the results. Thanks for everything!!!!

Kummock I'm not sure what you have been doing to your meat[?]

Sorry guys thought we talking about contaminated food not contaminating food.

Just a little humor while I learn.[:D][:D][:D]
