My dad and I did smoked salmon. One year, we caught about 150 lbs of salmon out of Monterey Bay when one of his childhood friends came out to visit. This was like, 1975 or 76. We smoked the whole batch. Ate smoked Salmon for months. lolNot since I was a child. But my daughter cures her own bacon. I do smoke meat, I particularly like smoked turkey. And when I can get my hands on it, I make a pretty mean smoked salmon.I've been looking into salt preserving bacon. If you do it right, after you have removed the water from the pork belly (Making it bacon), you can just hang it in your kitchen and use it as needed.It's called the "bloom" and it naturally protects the egg from bacteria and air. If you do not wash you eggs until you use them, this coating protects them and prolongs freshness. I don't keep my eggs refrigerated and can use them weeks after they are laid, if they last that long. Refrigeration won't hurt the eggs as long as you don't wash them.We had chickens and ducks growing up. They call the natural protection on the outside of eggs something...I can't remember. I buy my eggs once a month, usually. Sometimes twice a month. I take all she'll give me.So, you pretty much get your eggs right from the coop? My wife's sister has chickens and they always have far too many eggs than they can use. We get a dozen or so every couple of weeks. No need to store them in the fridge if you don't wash them like the poultry industry in the US does. Something about making them clean and pristine makes the susceptible to spoilage if they aren't refrigerated.I think it's caused by sunburn. I think it is slightly toxic..they are members of the nightshade family. I think the leaves of potatoes are toxic.
I get eggs from someone local...chicken and duck eggs! I leave my eggs on the counter, they last longer.
I go through 5 dozen a month.
There was an article on that I read when I was at an appointment waiting for something. Can't remember if it was a doctor, dentist, or masseuse. LOL
I know in most of the world since they don't have the FDA telling them how to process eggs, they just store them in baskets.
Have you done this?
