May have food-poisoned DH and I.

My bad if I did, but I'm pretty sure that the smoked salmon I reheated for dinne that's been in our fridge for over 2 and 1/2 weeks was ok.

DH's cousin brought it from Michigan when she was visiting for Christmas. I checked every Google search result I found....and DH thought it was still probably ok to eat. It didn't taste bad, just smoked. I was going to call MIL before eating it (my gut tells me she would've said to eat it), but I know her restaurant is busy on Saturday nights.

So, I'm guessing we'll see in a few hours if I food-poisoned us or not. I think we're ok.

Seriously, how am I supposed to tell if a preserved/cured meat has gone bad? Did it smell fishy? Of course! Huh?

    I'd guess it's still ok too.

    You ate meat that has been in your fridge for 2.5 weeks?  Ewww. 

    Ick!

    Edited to add: I have a thing with meat and freshness.  It either comes out of the freezer and is cooked within a day or is bought fresh and cooked within a day.

    Oh that's tough one.  I think I would have probably thrown it. But I'm not sure...it was smoked.

    Was it still packaged?  My DH is a chef and I'll ask him for you. Did you heat it?  I've always eaten smoked fish cold.

    Great question! It was vacuum packed and yes, I reheated it in the pan as did my Asian in-laws when they were here for the holidays. 

    They also left me ANOTHER package of smoked salmon which is presently in the freezer.

    I dunno really, I've never eaten smoked salmon before and just wanted to get rid of it and boy does DH hate wasting. :)

    You'll  be fine, and the one in the freezer is fine too.  How do you prepare it hot and what do you serve it with?  I'm curious... and hungry Big Smile

    I don't know the rules, but I know my parents have had smoked salmon in the fridge for a while. The best way I know how to tell if its bad is the color. If it still looked ok, you probably were safe.

    Whew! Thanks for asking your DH. I just re-heated in the pan...DH said it definitely smelled fishy when he walked in the door. When my ILs were here, they just re-heated it and ate it warm, so I followed suit. My MIL can prepare leftovers like no one else, so I'm hoping to expand my horizons as in my Caucasian family, we umm throw leftovers out. Hehe. 

    I paired it with fresh green beans with fresh garlic, cheesy mashed potatoes and some red wine. I must admit, the smoked salmon is maybe a bit much for my liking, but overall it was fine.

    Hope you find something in the fridge!
