Smoked Blackfish ... MMM MMM Good!!!

[Gr8ful Fish]

I decided to try smoking some tog fillets using the new smoker that my wife got me for my birthday.

I first brined the fillets for 24 hours in brine solution I made by mixing 1 cup of kosher salt & 1 cup of brown sugar in 1 gallon of water. I then smoked the fillets using a mix of mesquite & hickory chips for ~4 hours.

The results were amazing, and it is probably one of the tastiest smoked fish dishes I have ever prepared.

For those of you that like smoked fish, give it a try; I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I think joey is a philthy boy.

as far as smoking, I think you can smoke dog poop and it will come out good. although the fish looks MUCH better.

I never brined my fish for so long, but you are the second person who I have heard brined it for 24 hours. I usually do 4-5 hours on the fish. Maybe it is time to brine a little longer.

I just made some yesterday myself. I let it sit for 6 hours in the brine & it was plenty. Smoked for about 3.5hours with Alder & Applewood. Real good stuff...
