Still trying to clear up some space in our freezers, so thought I'd make some more King Salmon jerky to take with us on this coming weekend's camping trip.
Started out with over 7# of fish. Sliced and dry brined for 3 hours.

Rinsed and now on the racks drying to form a pellicle

A couple hours in the smoker with Alder pellets

Into the dehydrator for 3.5 hours

Ending up with 2.6# of yumminess

That looks fantastic Craig!
I'm not a big jerky fan, although I do make ground beef jerky.
But I think I would really like to make some salmon jerky.
Would you mind posting your recipe?
Congrats on making the carousel!

Looks Excellent, Craig. :)

The first thing I saw was the Picture, and I knew right away it had to be yours!!

Nice Job! I Like!

Thanks all for the thumbs up. Al, For Salmon I do a simple dry brine of 1/5 ratio of non iodized salt/dk brown sugar. Nothing else! I typically brine jerky pieces for 3+ hours. Rinse and dry for 2 hours. Smoke for 2 using Alder at 130 degrees. Dehydrate for 3.5 hours.
 
Looks great Craig! Over in Hawaii, fish jerky is really common. It's really dry (which I like) a tad bit more salty than I really like. Good stuff for sure!
 
Thanks all. Going to bring a lot of it to share this weekend with a bunch of fellow VW camper buddies. Oh and tomorrow, I'm smoking a bunch of Rock cod and Ling cod nuggets to also share. All of a sudden, everyone wants me to park our camper next to theirs. Hmmmm... New thread and pics to follow tomorrow.
 
Oh man... They closed down all bottom fishing for the rest of the year up here in Oregon. I'm hoarding what I have left from catching in July. Please don't post pictures of your nuggets!
