it is very important to do them in this order: cure your eggs(never freeze uncured eggs), put them into your vacuum seal bags but DON"T seal them..let them freeze first before you seal them, this prevents the pressure from the vacuum popping a lot of the eggs...once they have been cured, frozen in the bags unsealed, that is when you want to seal them up for some real long term storage...although i do incorporate scents into the curing process it's not a bad idea to add another little squirt of your chosen scent right before sealing...having several different scented eggs with differing toughness/milkability(is that a word) could mean the difference between hot fishing and the old skunkaroonie!!
