smoked fish recipe

[Wishin I was fishin]

I have a couple of loopers that I would like to smoke. If anyone can share a good recipe, I would appreciate it. I have an electric smoker.(with water pan)

[ice_shack]

4 cups dark brown sugar

1 cup non iodized pikling salt (green box)

10 - 15 garlic cloves

Old bay seafood seasoning

Season filets with old bay or whatever you prefer

cut slices in meat about an inch apart down to the skin but not through it

put in non metal container and cover with the mixture and put in fridge for about 5 hrs.

remove filets and gently wash off excess.

place fillets on the smoker racks skin side down and allow to dry a couple hours. Take a knife and poke holes in skin where the slices are, this lets the fat drain through.

Start heat and smoke for about 2 hours at 200 to 225 deg.

Interesting trick. When smoking fatty fish (Trout, Salmon etc..) I usually open the smoker a couple of times and wipe the fat off with paper towels. I'll have to give your method a try.

Thanks
