I only brine salmon for now. My brother sent me insta-cure. He suggested trying the Smoking places locally. I guess I’ll try them. I make my own brine for smoking, usually with sea salt, but I like to send my friends and relatives in the lower 48 the Smoked salmon. It’s usually pretty warm down there so the insta-cure keeps it from spoiling. Thanks for the help. I’ll look at the insta-cure ingredients and try to figure it out myself or ask the local smokers for help. Thanks again. Vicki
I have a variety of cures I use, depending on what I’m making; it’s the hell of traditional meat curing – everyone’s old recipe calls for whatever was available at their local general store. Bacon merits a different nitrate system than, say, fish.

I’ve never mixed the nitrites and nitrates. Do you have a recipe?

I would like to find the least expensive Sodium Nitrate based Cure for brining Salmon to ready them for Smoking. Shipping prices are the worst to Ship anything to Alaska.[8)][?]
