Hi all,
Well my plan is to cold smoke sockeye salmon using a pretty basic brine containing dq pink salt. My only question is that my salmon is fresh, wild and never frozen. I have been under the impression that you want it flash frozen at least to kill the harmful stuff and to help the drying process. Can I accomplish almost the same thing if I stick it in my freezer for say a week? Or should I just leave it fresh? Thanks in advance!
