  • smoked lake trout/whitefish with pics

    fish from fishing trip to canada last w/e, some lake trout


    closeup showing the fat in between the flakes which makes this a most desirable smoking fish


    a couple whitefish


    another closeup of the flesh... you wont see this in walleyes or pike etc... only in the salmon family. which is why they are the best fish for smoking.


    cut the fillets in pieces, i have a few people i need to give a piece to and i need to break it down from whole fillets so it makes it easier to divy up.


    the brine dry ingredients,pickling salt,brwn sugar, and garlic salt.


    put the fish pieces in brine and let soak for 24 hours, gave them a 6 hour fresh water soak.

    i saved one slab of whitefish, and one of laker and just for the heck of it decided to try rich's technique with T/Q.


    used the same amount like rich, 1 tbl spoon per couple pounds, also some garlic/herb powder and a lil cajun seasoning. wrapped in saran wrap and let set in fridge for 8 hours.


    fish outta brine and soaked, slabs soaked and seasoned, blotted dry with paper towels and into these big cookie sheet sized pans. set out on back of my toneau cover on pickup to allow pellicle to form


    last minute decision to cut the cured slabs up, so i can taste and get 5 other opinions


    just before putting brined fish in smoker i like to add a tad of brown sugar to the meat. it sort of starts to melt, work it around so evenly covered.


    smoked over sugar maple @aprox 200 deg til just flakes at thickest portion. whiteys on the left, lakers on the right.


    thks for cking my pics.
