Storage of smoked salmon

[SalmonDreamer]

New to smoking, given a Little Chief for Father’s Day this year.

Question: after brining and smoking (14hr brine and 10-18 hr smoke) how do you guys store smoked salmon after vacuum sealing?

Can it be room temperature like you see at some gift shops?
Or should it be frozen until used?

Thanks!

Freeze it.

Not what you asked but 10-18hrs in the smoker seems extremely long, IMO

It's a little chief. With no temp control it takes longer although that does seem like a long time.
I vacuum seal mine and then it's good for 2 weeks in the fridge.
If unused, it then goes in the freezer

I do salmon on my treager on smoke but only for about 6 hours. Good for a week in the fridge but I usually vaccu pac and freeze the next day or 2.

I vacuum pack and freeze. Once thawed I like to eat within a week. Probably could last longer but I like a moist smoked fish and don't like to take chances.
I tried canning (jars) so I would not have to thaw but found it over cooked the fish and changed the flavor.
