Curing Salmon Eggs With BorX O Fire For Fall Salmon

The debate rages on: should you use a sulfite or borax based cure for salmon? For the most part, sulfite wins. Meanwhile, TV host Big D of Fish Hunt Northwest offers up a borax based cure that is a go-to for salmon and gives up the recipe on this episode of Pautzke Outdoors.

Only cure I use is Pautzke. Love you cure and products. Plus I am from Yakima so your in my back yard.

[@yyoohh]

So I cured the egg with fire cure. Can I add borx fire night before the fishing to make it last longer on the hook ?

[@Honks34]

Is the Fire Gel water or oil based?

[@Dream_carm5]

is it possible to do a time laps on the curing processes

[@TeamPautzke]

Good question, if anyone can do it - it's Big D!

Everytime i use this on loose eggs i either get complely dried out mushy eggs or they just get soupy in the bag and dont toughen up at all so they just break when i try and wrap sacs… what am i doing wrong

[@micahziedonis7090]

You don't use them on loose eggs you want to use the cure on skien when the eggs are in a membrian and thr cure helps hold the membrain together and gives it flavor

[@micahziedonis7090]

You just tie the loose in the spawn sacs

[@jaybee3204]

You can water harden loose eggs first, dry on paper towel then use this cure. Just water hardening works decent too, they just aren't really preserved, but will tie easily

I see that some people leave their eggs on a drying rack after the 24 our cure process. Any reason for or against this?

[@TomBuikema]

In my experience, this can keep skein much more durable and less likely to fall apart on my hook, and allow for longer/more drifts per chunk I use.
Rack drying the cured skein (once it's completely reabsorbed it's juice) seems to make the skein last longer in refrigeration in my experience too.

Can I cure also shrimps?

[@TeamPautzke]

Yes. BorX O Fire, Fire Cure, Fire Brine all work
