This is a topic by Greg Who Cooks, I am trying to see if it will allow me to post it.
I moved about 20 miles from the San Fernando Valley to the Santa Clarita Valley. I love my new home but one of the things I had to give up was my local Super King international supermarket in Northridge. I have all the mainstream supermarkets (Ralphs, Albertson's, Von's, Vallarta, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods Market) within a short distance, but I miss Super King because they have a huge selection of international foods and really, really inexpensive smoked salmon, more than double the price at SK.
Local supermarkets sell lox for about $32/lb, SK sells nicer lox for $14/lb.
I get out to the SK area every week or 10 days, not worth driving out specifically to shop there. I visited a few days ago and bought about 4 lb. of lox. It seems to last pretty long. I've bought 3 packages before, ate lox on a bagel every morning, and it was still good when I ran out.
But it would be really good if I can buy it in bulk and just freeze most of the packages. (Packages are around a pound each.)
So my question: how does sliced salmon fare in the freezer? I would move a package from freezer to refrigerator a few days before I run out.
Will this work?
