I am in charge of smoking some walleye and some Northern Pike this weekend and I would like to know if anyone has any good rubs or how long does it take to smoke fillets.
Would you do us a favor & update your profile info to include your location, then head on over to roll call & introduce yourself, so we can all give you a SMF welcome!
Depending on the size of the fillets they will smoke quickly, 30 to 40 minutes.
We smoke mostly Salmon here & just coat them with oil & dust with Cajun seasoning.
I've not smoked walleye or pike, but white fish takes citrus really well. I will mix 50/50 soy sauce and citrus juice (or pineapple) and marinate for 1-2 hours. Season as desired and smoke with a light-flavored fruit or nut wood until it flakes with a fork.
We liked it best when brined then smoked. Lemon pepper or a citrus rub was good. 30 - 45 minutes will cover most fillets. Good luck and hope everyone enjoys it.
