Maybe like any smoked fish vac packed at fridge temp about two weeks, I had some fish in maybe 3-4 weeks and it was becoming mouldy so was destined for the burley pot.

Thinking back no different to old day of smoked fish plastic bag...same time no more than a fortnight.

fridge/freezer

fridge,
yeah 6weeks,

freezer,
ive had some that is 12mths old and still was fine,
a lot depends on how it was brined i would have thought,
a 24hr brine done right should just about cure it proper to the extent it would last quite a long time in the freezer....


Thanks for everything you did for us Eric. may you rest in peace, You were one of the real legends of NZ recreational fishing
