Brown trout Lox


Recommended Posts

IMG_2363.JPGAfter reading the dangers of fresh water lox I decided to try it. Froze the skinned fillets for a week then put them in 50/50 mix of Kosher Salt and sugar with some dill weed. Vacuum sealed and put in refrigerator with a plate and weight on top. Left 2 days remove bones, rinsed and sliced thin. Then candled to search for parasites.

Sounds good. But if I never see you post again ...... I know not to try it.

From my research the risk is low to begin with. In addition freezing to -4 F for 7 days kills any potential parasites ( make sure your freezer is set this cold)and the salt kills and bacteria so should be fine.

I had to set my freezer to coldest setting to get the required -4 degree F. Left it for a week to kill any possible parasites. Very easy to make and a good end product.

I also bought a special set of tweezers call an Easy Boner for removing the pin bones that works well.
