Isn't it smoked too? Expensive to buy already made, but probably much cheaper if you make it yourself

Certain kinds of lox are smoked and smoked salmon is sometimes referred to as lox, but regular lox is just salt cured. That's the kind I make. It's very good.

Interesting Jim. How long will it keep in the fridge without the smoking? Any way it can be frozen once it is brined for longer storage?

I had to look up information on storing lox. The information I found said it keeps in the fridge for 2 or 3 weeks, which seems reasonable to me. I normally use the lox withing a week or so. I see no deterioration whatsoever in quality during that time.

Lox can be frozen. I haven't done it, so I can't speak from experience.

Sorry for the skimpy information. But it will give you at least a general idea.
