Smoking Fish

[Forkinhades]

Hi peeps

Can anybody advise what kind of fish is good for smoking?

Also best way to do it.

I already have a home made smoker

Have to ask.. what type of wood do you use for smoking here? Where do you get it?

[Oxx]

Generally you want an oily fish with firm flesh, so local mackerel would be good.

I'm using hickory wood, which I get from bbqthai, they have a shop in Pattaya. A little expensive, but I just use for special occasions.

I was thinking of making a brine, and soaking some fillets for 24 hours before I put in the smoker.

Personally I prefer salmon for smoking.

I use mackrel for smoking put them for 3 hours in salt water, 80 gram salt for each liter water, then dry them and smoke them for 45-60 min at approx. 75 degree celsius. BTW I use beechwood.

Cheers
