I posted in the fish forum yesterday but did not get a response..
I want to fire up the smoker and try this again, but I'm uncertain how I should adjust the recipe.
I brined in the recipe below for 24 hours. Then let it air dry in the fridge for another 12 hours.
I fired up the propane smoker and loaded it with non soaked apple wood. I filled the water bowl with the brine. It smoked for an hour and 40 minutes at 225 degrees.
The Shark is the darker, thicker fish in the pic. It came out perfectly! The Cod and Haddock have good flavor, but are a little too salty. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Randy
