Flyboy Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Can you refreeze meat strips such as the Erie Dearies? Just wondering if I don't use a whole package in a trip if I can refreeze it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBDSLO1 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 That's a great question, I've often wondered myself. I've heard if you re-freeze without being cured, the meat turns mushy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarf Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 As far as strips go they seem to work alright refrozen, especially if cured, but dont refreeze whole herring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyyost Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I have left extra in the freezer over the winter that had been frozen/thawed a number of times. I thought the strips looked so bad I almost threw them away, but I tried them and the fish didn't seem to mind at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCollarOutdoors Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I had 2 hits on strips this morning that are 6 weeks old, have been thawed and frozen several times and even soaked in garlic and never brined. There are getting a little mushy but again the fish didnt care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralee Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Stick em in a canning jar with a handful of borax and a handful of kosher salt and they will last a long time in the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarkbro Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Sure can do it all the time-after the second thaw though they get soft so i wouldnt recomend more than one-refreeze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralee Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 PS-Forgot to add Fill jar with cold water, mix, and keep cold in the fridge. Meat stays nice for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
