Researchers at the University of Toronto's Quality of Life Research Unit define quality of life as The degree to which a person enjoys the important possibilities of his or her life (UofT).
The shelf life of cold-smoked salmon is very short, one to two weeks in the refrigerator and about one month in the freezer. Storage time is another critical factor in the proliferation of Listeria bacteria since it can grow at low temperatures.
Although packaging allows some smoked salmon to be preserved for years, even without refrigeration, opening the seal will start the clock running on how long you can keep smoked salmon in your fridge.or smoking, the fish is usually brined and then placed in a smoker for several hours. The length of time is dependent on the desired texture of the fish. Some companies will then vacuum seal the fish and cook it, much like the canning process, allowing for a shelf life of up to five years.
