After the great ice fishing expedition and the pan fried fish with eyes, we were also given three smoked trout. I gifted one of them to the people from date night. I made one of them into dip to eat with crackers. And the STP wanted to send one back to guys he used to work with and originally ice fished with. The problem was deciding if a smoked trout was adequately preserved to survive a cross country trip through the mail. And how to answer the question, "Anything liquid, flamable or perishable?" So one of the church ladies had a vacuum sealer, and so the STP took the smoked trout over to her house and sealed it in a bag, put that bag into a box and mailed it off. He believes with the sub zero weather, the smoking, and the sealing that the fish was indeed NOT perishable.
The fish has yet to arrive.
I'm wondering if it ends up in the lost package department somewhere in the midwest, how long fish in a bag will remain imperishable.
Why Abi contemplates any of this? I can't explain that.

I don't know how long a fish, shipped cross country,will last, but I do know frozen pork roll, shipped from NJ on a Sat and delivered to CA on a Wed. has perished!
I just hope they don't take your fish in a bag and then in a box and smash it with a hammer before opening it and reporting on it's condition...
It's brilliant, I tell you, brilliant!
:)
thanks for the explanation. i was thinking more along the lines of goldfish in a bag and we all know they never last very long...
