Another meat question

[Killin' It]

Another random question on meat.

I caught a nice batch of JUMBO alewife... I am brining them now, can I freeze them till I want to use them once they are done in the brine?

I did that last year and they worked fine through the end of the year. I vacuum packed them in packages of 6 to keep the air out.

Dave did you get the alewife off the Holland piers? I need to get mine collected for the year!

[Killin' It]

Yes They came from Hollad

I've had no negative effect from freezing/thawing/freezing/thawing herring or alewives dave. As long as they are brined that is.

I just froze mine last year and they worked great. Make sure to keep them as cold as possible till they are ready to use.
