Brined and Smoked Smelt image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

24 smelt, cleaned with head and tails left on
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 garlic clove, halved
1 teaspoon juniper berries
1 teaspoon allspice berries
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 to 3 sprigs fresh dill
1 pound ice

Steps:

  • Rinse the smelt in cool running water. Set aside.
  • Place all of the remaining ingredients, except the ice, into the electric kettle. Bring to a boil. Add the ice and stir until the mixture is cooled. Transfer the liquid to a 1-gallon ziptop bag along with the smelt. Seal and place in a container so that all of the fish are in the brine. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remove the smelt from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Place them onto a paper towel lined sheet pan, layering with paper towels in between if they won't fit in one layer. Allow to dry in the refrigerator overnight.
  • The next day, place the smelt onto racks, belly side down, separating them by at least 1/4-inch and place into a smoker. Turn the smoker on so that it maintains a temperature of 150 to 160 degrees F. Adjust heat as needed and cook for approximately 3 hours or until desired level of doneness.
