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.

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 DIP
This recipe for smoked fish dip is world class, puts most others to shame, and is served in several prominent restaurants on the gulf coast of Florida. We used smoked whitefish, well boned, but any other smoked fish should work. Serve with crackers, lemon or lime wedges, and capers.

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.
SMOKED FISH
I learned this up in Kenai, Alaska from an old guy named Swede, who had spent 30-some summers up there salmon fishing (and smoking). It is great for salmon or any other fairly strong, oily fish! I've used it on salmon, tuna, and swordfish. Prep time include setting (drying) time. Double the recipe if budget and smoker size permits.

Steps:
- Mix all brine ingredients thoroughly.
- Cut fish in 1-2" pieces, leaving skin on.
- If fish is fresh, soak for 1-1/2 hours; if it has been frozen, soak for 45-60 minutes.
- Remove fish from marinade and place on smoker-racks skin-side down.
- Allow to glaze at room temperature for at least 4 hours, and preferably overnight.
- I usually set a fan to blow across the fish and help them get dry to the touch and look very glazed.
- Cold-smoke (at 120-140 degrees F) for 8-12 hours to obtain desired flavor.
- Then hot smoke (at 180-200 degrees F) for 1-2 hours or finish in a 300 degree F oven for 30-45 minutes to get desired texture.
- I do not like a mushy fish, so I cook it until it firms up, though it's hard to tell, though, until after it has cooled down.
- Cool to room temperature, freeze on cookie sheets, package, and store in freezer.
- Best with stronger flavored, oily fish such as salmon, tuna, or swordfish; in general, mild fish smoke poorly.
- Notes: I use a Brinkmann Smokn Pit water-smoker.
- The water helps to keep the temperature low, and the steam in the smoke keeps meat more moist during long cooking.
- My smoker is intended for charcoal smoking, but for fish, I place soaked wood chips in a metal (not foil, foil will burn through, use real metal) sitting on top of a cheap hot plate (with a rheostat control, not just an on-off switch), which sits on a brick so the pan is up under the bottom of the smoker, where the charcoal pan normally sets.
- Adjust temperature by adjusting hot plate up or down (usually somewhere between low and medium), and throw another handful of wet wood chips into the pie plate every 30-40 minutes, when the smoke stops generating.
- Depending on my mood, and what kind of wood chips are available, I usually smoke fish with alder, cherry, oak, maple, orange or lemon wood (on the rare occasion I can find orange or lemon) Alder and cherry are usually the easiest to find, and they both work beautifully for fish.
- Do not use hickory or mesquite; they are just too strong and completely overwhelm fish!
- I usually double or triple this recipe; I have rigged my double-size smoker to take up to 4 racks to handle the larger amounts.
- Since this whole process takes a lot of time, the little extra effort is worth while, and the smoked fish freezes well, lasting a couple years with only a little deterioration in flavor or texture.
- SAFETY NOTE: Needless to say, DO THIS OUTDOORS!
- Cabon monoxide KILLS!

Steps:
- If using haddock or kippered herring, pour boiling water over the fish and let it stand for 10 minutes. Remove skin and bones. Salmon or trout need not be placed in boiling water, but should of course have skin and bones removed.
- Place the fish in the bowl of a blender with the six ounces of butter. Blend until smooth, adding the lemon juice and pepper to taste.
- Place the mixture into small pots, sealing the top with clarified butter (clarified butter is made by simmering unsalted butter and skimming off the milk solids). Cover with waxed paper or foil and store in the refrigerator. Serve with brown bread or thin pieces of toast.

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.
