Smoked Salmon:
Our smoked wild Alaskan salmon and oysters have a shelf life of approximately four years and require no refrigeration until they are opened. Once opened, they will last 4-7 days in the fridge. Think of the pouch like a "flexible can" – as long as the pouch is not punctured, leaking or opened, the product inside will stay good for at least 4 years. Even this is conservative, as long as the pouch is intact.
If you open the box and look at the gold pouch, you'll notice a series of letters & numbers (either on a white sticker, or stamped directly on the pouch, usually in red ink).

Serving Your SeaBear Smoked Wild Salmon
This SeaBear smoked wild salmon is fully cooked and ready-to-serve. Simply place the fillet on a serving plate (we recommend pouring the natural oils in the pouch back over the salmon), and offer with whatever condiments you like - crackers or crostini, cream cheese, chopped red onion, sliced cheese, sliced apple (or other fruits), and sliced vegetables. Or, try adding smoked wild salmon to pasta, a salad, baked potato, stir-fry or omelet.

Our smoked oysters have a shelf life of approximately 3 years and require no refrigeration until they are opened. Once opened, they will last 4-7 days in the fridge.
