Directions
-
Along the East coast where I live there's always an abundant supply of fresh fish.
-
In the Spring there's fresh mackerel, and the Bluefish in the Fall, are my favorites for smoking.
-
This recipe will work with Mackerel, Bluefish, Salmon, and even Cod.
-
If you catch the fish yourself, cut through their throat to bleed them while they're still alive.
-
Put them head down in a bucket so they'll pump out as much blood as possible.
-
Wash and chill the whole fish until you can fillet them.
-
Mix brine until fully dissolved.
-
Early in the morning of the day you're going to smoke,
-
wash 4 to 6 fillets and
-
place them in the brine.
-
Mix this together in a glass or enamel bowl
-
add the fish and submerge the fillets with a weight to hold them under the brine.
-
Brine the fillets in the refrigerator from 2 to 4 hours (longer makes the fish saltier).
-
Remove the fillets and wipe dry with paper towels.
-
Place them, skin side down, on several thicknesses of dry paper towels and
-
let them air dry for several hours.
-
The surface is dry enough when your finger sticks to the flesh.
-
Hot smoke over a 250F (121&# 194;°C) wood fire for about 2 hours or until the fillets are firm to the touch (like medium rare steak).
-
Peel off the skin and enjoy
