You know the thin strips of smoked salmon that comes vaccum packed?
Would you freeze a package for later use? Would it still taste as good?

| I do this and it's fine. Defrost in a bowl of hot water for about a minute. Do not microwave, because that starts a fire.

I have done it, but find it has a rubbery texture afterwards

 The packaging starts a fire in a microwave.

I have a package in the freezer for ages and I've been afraid to defrost it  So it's just waiting there. And of course, I won't buy new smoked salmon because I have some in the freezer.

I also freeze lox. I must buy the non-rubbery type.
It is good when defrosted. I also repackage into smaller portions. I defrost in the fridge.

Have you thought of cooking it? Too me, it is too expensive to waste. I would cook it with rice and vegetables and a sauce. You could also spice it and then stream it over onions and lemons and serve it with pasta and a sour creme sauce.
I am sure on this site, you could get dozens of recipes.

| I freeze it all the time. It tastes fine when defrosted, but it tastes better before it's frozen. I also defrost in the refrigerator. Dh defrosts under running cold water.

I freeze it then leave in the fridge to defrost or on the counter.
Tastes fine.

| I'm pretty sure I've seen frozen lox in the supermarket, so it must be OK to freeze it. Have never tried it, as we only buy the refrigerated packets, but I would imagine it tastes fine.
