that was my first thought as well. i've used that method more often than not and i can't say i've ever had fish go bad on me
one thing to remember about cold smoking and jerking/drying freshwater fish is that neither of these methods grantee food safety.
it's relatively safe, and has been done for millenia, but then people in less developed countries, and in antiquity have had a lot more GI parasites.
