Re: A little something green I brought home from the panga beach and smoked up...
I use a cylinder shaped smoker I got off craigslist. I has had the factory element replaced by a electric stove coil (2 actually) that has been bent to shape. Having a rheostat for the stove control lets me set the temp where I want it.
I keep the smoked fish in the refrigerator, it seems to keep a long time. For some of you more experienced guys I have a question. Whats the pros and cons of brineing in a liquid solution vrs covering it with dry salt and sugar the way I do it? Also, have any of you tried smoking crab or other shellfish? One guy I know smokes his leftover mussels and they are incredible. I want to try smoking some limpets and crabs. Im thinking I will have to crack the crabs shells 1st to get the smoky flavor in.

Re: A little something green I brought home from the panga beach and smoked up...
Dude, thanks so much for this idea! I pulled a fat cab out of the freezer the other day and steaked it up. Turned out so good in the smoker. And this process wastes virtually zero meat.........ate up the collar and all those fatty head pieces that usually can't be filleted.
I will be steaking and smoking fish much more often now. |

Do you split the head in half before you throw it in the smoker, or throw it in whole? |

So, frozen fish smokes up pretty well? I thought fresh was best and frozen comes out mushy...?

I also like the zero waste of the smoked fish. Even the little scraps will slide of the bones and is really good. One friend of mine told me he thinks the fish taste better and more flavorful if they are cooked with the bones in Smoked fish heads make a great garnish for a bowl of smoked fish spread Jeremy
