smoking fish?
I have heard that if you want to smoke fish you need a smoker for
that, and a smoker for the rest of what ever you want to smoke...that the smoker will retain the flavor of the fish, hence Q laced with spanish mackeral? Any thing to this? Thanks, Tim |

Any thing to this? In short, no. I do fish, shrimp, oysters, scallops, all in the same smokers that I do beef, pork and poultry. It's never been a problem for me or my customers. -- Reg email: RegForte (at) (that free MS email service) (dot) com |

Thought I would soak them in a fairly spicy brine mixture and then use a medium spice dry rub on them. Suggestions appreciated. |

She first removed the mud vein down each side of them and then soaked the carp in milk overnight. She put it in the oven and basted it with butter and honey. I don't know what temperature she used. Everyone that ate it, liked it. My grandpa said that if she prepared the soles of his work boots the same way; everyone would like the way they tasted too. ;-} -- Jarhead |

I'd cut them into pieces but you could smoke a whole fillet if you wanted. I'd brine them for around 2 hours in a strong brine. Here's a basic one. Feel free to add the herbs and spices of your choosing. 2 q water 1 C kosher salt 1 C sugar 2 T garlic powder Air dry in the fridge until the surface is dry. You can use a spice rub or just coat with a bit of oil. Smoke at 180 - 200 F just until it flakes or a bit sooner if you like it on the rare side. The sugar is a bit higher than I usually use on say, salmon or trout. Carp can have a sort of muddy flavor depending on the water it comes out of, and the extra sugar will help. Here's an excellent source for more info on smoking fish http://www.3men.com/threemen1.htm -- Reg email: RegForte (at) (that free MS email service) (dot) com |
