Question 1

How best to store - fridge?  freeze?   Duration for any method?  3 lbs is a lot of dried fishies.

Accepted Answer

Hi Susan; I triple wrap the smoked Herring in zip lock bags, keeping the outsidemost one very clean to minimize transferring the odor to those who don't love it like we do. When I was a kid, my family would make me eat it outside, no matter how cold it was in Northern Maine where I lived. After triple zip lock bagging it, I keep it in the freezer, and have stored it there, between using it as craved, for a very long time, like two years. After all, it is already pretty well protected from degradation.

Question 2

is this like a jerky

Accepted Answer

No.  The blind robbin is not like a dry jerky.  However it is salty with a heavy smoked fish flavor similar to an anchovy.   The blind robbin has a big following of customers who grew up with the fish.  It was once a staple of beer halls and bars through out the Midwest.  This is a fish lover's fish. We carry this item year round.   Thanks  Dan at Wholeys

How well has the fish been filleted, Have all the bones been removed from the fish?

Accepted Answer

All the bones have been removed.  It's a very salty fishy fillet that tastes like no other.   it is a fish lovers fillet with no bones.  Thanks  Dan Wholey
