Smoker report 8/22:

[AndyS]

Smoked some ling, very good, came out like whiting. Tried a big eel also. I was surprised how white and flakey the meat was on that big saltwater eel, maybe not the best meat to smoke, plus it was FULL OF BONES. I thought the eel would have very few bones, boy was I wrong.
If I smoke some more stuff I'll try to report my findings. Just went with a simple saltwater brine this time with Applewood and Hickory mix on da chips.

Andy.... porgies & blackfish are also excellent in the smoker. Porgies need very little time to brine & smoke up pretty quickly.

If you are catching a lot of silver eels just smoke the part from the bunghole back. All those fine bones are in the front.

Put a lil honey and brown sugar into the brine. Sweet like candy. Yum Yum Yum!

Brown sugar and garlic and onions added to basic brine is my thing!! Porgies, ling, tog, cod, pollack etc. However tried seabass several times and I didn't care for it!! The oillier the better IMO!!

I smoked some bluefish that had been in my freezer vacumm sealed since 11/11 marinated it over night then smoked the fish for 2 hrs at 225 degrees OMG it was awsum! gave some to my buddies they loved it! they couldnt believe it was blue's! took the remainder and cut it up into small pieces added mayo, pickel relish, seasoning. What a great dip to put on crackers!
will never throw a blue fish back again!
