HOW TO SMOKE FISH
Where there's smoke, there's flavor. Smoking fish at home may sound intimidating, but it's no more complicated than grilling. Just add aromatic wood to a charcoal grill and let the fragrant, flavorful smoke do its work.

Steps:
- Make the brine: Combine water, sugar, and 1/2 cup salt. Place fish in a nonreactive dish; cover with brine. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Heat charcoal grill to medium, piling coals on 1 side to set up direct and indirect heat zones. Set a drip pan under the grill grate in the indirect heat zone.
- Soak wood trimmings in water for 30 minutes. Drain (if smoking whole trout or char, leave 1/2 cup wood in water); add to coals.
- Smoke the fish: Once smoke develops, place fish in a lightly oiled grill basket. Transfer to grill rack, and set over drip pan. Open lid vent, and position over fish. (This will direct smoke to impart maximum smokiness.) For the trout fillets: Smoke fish until cooked through but not dry, 12 to 15 minutes.For the whole trout: Smoke for 10 minutes. Flip basket. Drain remaining 1/2 cup wood; add to coals. Smoke fish until cooked through but not dry, 8 to 10 minutes more.For the side of arctic char: Smoke for 10 minutes. Drain remaining 1/2 cup wood; add to coals. Smoke fish until cooked through but not dry, 13 to 15 minutes more.
SMOKED FISH ( BRINE RECIPE AND SMOKING DIRECTIONS)
This is a long time family recipe that was recently shared with me. Looking for something different to do with fish? This is it! We usually plate this and allow everyone to serve themselves. Wonderful fresh off the smoker as well as COLD from the refrigerator as you would smoked salmon, regardless of they type of fish used. After smoking this will keep for about a week in the refrigerator. I do not care for oily types of fish done this way but many prefer them. I like to smoke whitefish, salmon, perch, or trout. Feel free to use any fish you prefer. Plan AHEAD! Need to brine for about 12 hours and smoke for about 6-8.

BASIC BRINE FOR SMOKING MEAT
This is a very basic brine recipe for preparing meats and fish for smoking. Add any personal taste preferences to the brine for additional flavor enhancement. I like to add white wine, soy sauce, and various herbs and spices. Anything that you like will work, so experiment at will.

Steps:
- If using liquid brine, place the fish fillets in a ceramic, glass or stainless-steel (not aluminum) bowl with the brine. If using dry cure, rub each fillet top and bottom with the dry mixture and place in a ceramic, glass or stainless-steel (not aluminum) baking dish. Cover and refrigerate about 6 hours, or overnight.
- Remove fillets from bowl or dish and rinse them under running water quickly to remove surface salt. If using dry cure, do not rub off all the seasonings. Place fillets on a cake rack or raised grid surface that allows air to circulate beneath them. Leave to dry about 3 hours, or until a dry shiny surface forms.
- When fillets are sufficiently dry, build a charcoal fire, if necessary (it will take about 30 minutes for the charcoal to reach the desired state). If using wood chunks, let them soak in a bucket of water for half an hour. If using an electric smoker, turn it on just before using and place sawdust or wood shavings in the smoking pan.
- Place fillets on the smoker grid. Close vents, or place lid on smoker. Regulate vents, if possible, so that heat stays at around 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Leave the fish 1 to 2 hours or longer, checking periodically and, if possible, replenishing fuel or smoking medium as necessary. The fish will be done more quickly at higher temperatures. At temperatures of 175 to 200 degrees, for example, fish will be done in about 1 hour.
- Remove fillets from smoker when they are dry and yellowish in color. Serve immediately, or refrigerate and serve cold or as an ingredient in other recipes.

- Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees. Place the seasoned fish filets on the smoker grate(s). Cook for 10 minutes, gently flip fillets and cook for an additional 10 minutes. (Ours is an electric Masterbuilt smoker, time to cook may vary depending on your smoker.) Fish will be soft and flaky when done - you are striving for it to be just done, not dry like what you normally think of when you hear smoked fish. Top fish with capers when plating, and a fresh lemon slice if you wish.
- When we made this most recently, we also took a couple of fresh garden tomatoes and cut them into thick slices and placed them on the smoker for a few minutes. We served it with Garlic, Parmesan & Spinach Orzo.

THE BEST RECIPES USING SMOKED FISH
From thespruceeats.com
- Cullen Skink. Cullen is a small town in Northeast of Scotland and the home of one of Scotland’s most famous dishes, cullen skink. It is a hearty soup and traditionally made with Finnan haddock (smoked haddock), potatoes, and onions.
- Smoked Mackerel Fishcakes. Nutritious, tasty, and cheap to make, smoked mackerel fishcakes are an ideal dish. Mackerel is not only an economical fish to cook and eat, but since it is an oily fish it is also very healthy.
- Kedgeree. Though kedgeree is considered a traditional British food, this smoked fish dish actually originated in India. Kedgeree began its life as khichari, an Indian dish of rice and lentils, but slowly transformed into the current dish during the time of the British Raj.
- Smoked Haddock Chowder. Smoked haddock chowder is not dissimilar to a cullen skink, except flour and cream are used for thickening the soup instead of mashed potato.
- Smoked Salmon With Dill Sauce. What's an easier or more delicious starter than a plate of Scottish or Irish smoked salmon with a creamy dill sauce? Smoked salmon with dill sauce can be served as a lighter appetizer, or for the main course with boiled new potatoes.
- Creamed Leeks and Smoked Haddock. This comforting dish creamed leeks and smoked haddock can be made in two different ways—spooned over toast or baked as a casserole, where you simply layer ingredients in a baking dish, cover with breadcrumbs and butter, and bake until bubbling and golden brown.
- Smoked Fish Pate. Quick to prepare and ideal to make ahead, creamy smoked fish pate is the perfect appetizer to serve at your next party. Simply place the ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth; refrigerate overnight and serve the next day with buttery crackers or cucumber slices.
