Candies Fish Recipes?

[Gomphus]

I have some fish (trout) that I would like to candy. I have never candied fish before, so would appreciate some recipes and methods.

I'm using a Bradley digital smoker.

Thanks.

Here's one to try...
Indian Candy

4 cups demerrara sugar
1 cp. coarse salt
1 Tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp coarse black pepper
1 cup apple juice
1 cp teriyaki sauce
1 cp water

I first go and find some fish. This recipe I use for the fillets of 4 sockeye or 3 nice chum.
Fillet salmon, remove skin. cut into pieces about 1/2" thick by whatever length the smoker racks are.
Mix all dry ingredients. Put a layer of fish in a plastic or glass container (I use a rubbermaid tub)and cover with dry mix. Repeat this until all fish and dry mix is gone.
Mix wet ingredients and pour into the container. Cover and keep in a cold place(fridge or outside) Stir the whole works every 4 hours or so.
I let the fish brine a minimum of 24 hours(it's usually around 36hours)
Take fish out of the brine, Lay fish on smoker racks, in an area where you can let the fish dry for 3-4 hours under the light breeze of a fan.until it's dry to the touch and it looks kinda shiny.
Put fish in smoker (I use a Big Chief unit...a couple of them if necessary) with a pan of wood chips. (I use maple and cherry) When first pan of chips is done then do another one.
Depending on the thickness of the fish you could have some ready to remove from the smoker in 3-4 hours. (I like it fairly dry and I do some into hard jerky as well. Your tastes may vary) Move the racks around so the wetter stuff is near the bottom. (don't jam the fish together on the racks as this inhibits the heat and smoke from passing evenly over the product) Depending on the temperature outside, it could all be done in 6 hours. If cold, it takes considerably longer.(if cold, you can put the big chief box over the smoker for insulation. I have a large, thick cardboard fence sorta thing that I surround the smoker with.)
I vacuum pack it all, except for the stuff that doesn't survive the 'I wonder if it's done yet' sampling. It lasts basically forever, if one could let it sit that long in the freezer Let it cool and vacuum pack.
Hide it in the freezer.
