    HOMEMADE LOX WITH RECIPE & STEPS, PLENTY OF Q-VIEW

    Thank you, makes sense I think it would store a lot fresher leaving each piece intact then slicing when desired. I know it works well for my cold smoke process but everybody does it a bit different and at the end of the day that’s ok.

    Cold Smoke Chinook (king salmon)

    Dave - I bleed them immediately after catching them then place them on ice until me get back to the cleaning tables and at that point all salmon are cleaned and all heads are removed, tails are left on for indentifaction purposes at this point the salmon are packed in sea ice until processed.
