Beings how the fish was cured in a salt-sugar brine it`s probably okay. I would`nt take a chance if the fish had`nt been brined though.
I was about 3 hrs into smoking some steelhead and salmon (2 full racks) a week or so ago for my mom`s wake(bless her soul) and my 2 year old decides to take off down the street to the neighbors house to play on thier little tykes climber. Well, I went down and got her, came back and decided to pull her`s back out from under the tree. The ladder on the dang thing hit the smoker, (a charcoal smoker no less) and knocked it over, water and all, covered the fish in ashes water and whatever else was in the thing.. Ended up having to go buy some fresh salmon because I just didn`t have the time to thaw and brine any more out before the funeral. Not that this story pertains much to what happened with you, it just made me think about that again. I had kind of forgotten about that with everything else till I read this post.
It`s good to be able to laugh about it..
