how long can you keep vacuum sealed smoked salmon?
As a life long Salmon connoisseur, I have found that one year is a good shelf life for fresh salmon that has been vacuum sealed and immediately frozen (FAS). Q: What is the shelf life of thawed vacuum sealed Salmon? A: You dont gain any shelf life per say for vacuum sealing fresh uncooked Salmon. If kept refrigerated, smoked salmon however, will last about 20 days unopened. Once it is opened, use within about 3 days. The reason for that is that fresh fish isnt cooked but smoked salmon is. Cooked wild salmon last longer in a vacuum sealed pouch because most of the bacteria have been killed during the cooking process.
