Cold smoking is a more consistent process than air- or fire-drying fish. Since all the fillets are enclosed in a smoker, they all receive the same treatment at the same time. It’s an excellent way to preserve fish in cold weather when air drying isn’t feasible. It also uses less fuel than open-fire drying. Preserving food means protecting it from decay caused by bacteria. One of the easiest ways to do this is to remove the water from the internal structure of the food. Remove enough water, and bacteria can’t survive to break the food down. Most pre-industrial food preservation methods rely on removing water in one way or another. In other words, drying the food out. When in the wild, you may or may not have easy access to salt, but you should always bring some salt with you in your “survival kit.” However, not just any salt will do. To serve, dip the fish jerky into the dipping sauce and scoop up the pieces of chili, then enjoy with a cold drink, whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic.

Your salmon jerky is so delicious that we doubt it will last even a month, your family will be gobbling it up. How to Make Smoked Salmon JerkyTo initiate the drying process, you will want to hang it so that the sun and wind (nature’s oven) can have access to the most surface area. Make sure the fish gets exposed to full sun. Make sure the fillets aren’t crowed on the strings to that they shade each other. If you can make sure that the fish is also exposed to a steady breeze, that’s even better. You want to make sure the fish is fully dried before you store it because extended storage with moisture still present can lead to risks of bacteria and illness. You will know that jerky is dried and ready to store if it has a leathery, chewy texture and is slightly brittle.

Additionally, any excessively fatty portions should be trimmed to maintain an even drying process and consistent flavor. Lean fish species are the easiest to use for jerky. You can preserve protein by drying the fish, but the fat can still spoil. These fish can be dried and stored without much difficulty.

It is important to note that saltwater from an ocean or body of water (such as salt lakes) should not be used directly to brine your fish. Bacteria in the water can be harmful for consumption. To brine the fish: The process of making Jwipo begins with selecting filefish fillet. The fish is then cleaned and cut into thin slices. These slices are then marinated in a mixture of salt, sugar, and other spices for several hours. After the marination process, the slices are sun-dried for several days until they become chewy and have a briny, savory flavor. Turn the Jwipo over and continue roasting in butter while occasionally pressing down with a spatula. Cook until your desired doneness.

The more exposure to the daytime elements the fish receive, the faster the fish will be able to dry. The wind is an important addition to the sun as it allows air to pass through the fish, both drying it out further and keeping it from cooking.

Smoked salmon jerky recipes call for lower smoker temps, this is achievable on all smokers, but lower temps are more stable on electric smokers. The general rule of thumb is to opt for fish with a firmer texture, as they tend to dry well and provide a satisfying chew. Once your fish is dry, the shelf life should last you a couple of months if it is stored properly. For your purposes, you will probably only need to store the jerky for days or weeks at a time before having access to civilization again. If the fish is overly dry or salty, the best fix is water. Recipes for traditional dried or salted fish usually call for soaking the fish for a day or more to reduce the salt and soften the fish.
