Gave some smoked fish to Otto when he came down and he asked me to post what i do.
Start with fresh Coho or Steelhead, or whatever fish. I use fresh if i can, but i like thawed fish also.
Start out with:
2 cups Brown sugar
1/3 cup non iodized salt, saltier than i like but good. Can adjust to your liking.
1 TBSP alspice
1 TBSP Garlic powder
1 TBSP dill weed
1 TBSP onion powder
I then mix it all up in a glass bowl.
I roll the fish in the mixture so the whole srip of fish is coated.
Place in plastic or glass container and put in the fridge over night.
I open container and stir so all fish is coated evenly. It will make its own juices and will be a sugary mess.
I lay out my smoker racks and put the strips on the racks, i do not rinse my fish.
I smoke untill it is about an hour from being done.
I take it out of the smoker and pre heat the oven to 325 and i coat the fish in honey, then place in preheated over for 20 minutes.
Ask Otto, it is great. Try not eating it all before it cools.
I got the recipe from another website and i love it...
