My family and I went to Florida when I was 16, and we went deep-sea
fishing. I caught the biggest cod on the boat (At least that's how I
remember it!). My uncle had a vertical smoker (I don't remember many
details about the smoker, or how he smoked it), and he smoked the cod
in it. It was awesome- the best fish I'd ever had to that date, or have
had since!

I grew up on cod and other fish. Being a Norwegian made cod something we
ate two three times a week. Now I live in Texas and I do not know the fish
around here too well. I remember my grandfather smoked mackerel over birch
which turned out delicious. However, we never smoked cod. The only smoked
fish we normally purchased was smoked haddock which still is one of my
favorite dishes. Maybe I shouldn't mention that whale was on our menu as
well? I am probably one of the few that has had grilled whale steak for
dinner. That was cheap meat over there back in the 60s.

Smoked the salted cod today. It turned out great.
