oh wow you really smoke it. do you not find the smoke flavour overpowering? I've heard that can happen so I just cold smoke for an hour. Never tried it like that.Cleaning out the freezer this week. it seems that the canned smoked is the most popular thing we do with our fish. After 40 years I've finally got it just right. Goes good on salads, crackers ......out of the jar with a fork

So do you do a full brine first as well?It's similar to the St jeans stuff in the can. It seems to accentuate the sugars and oils. Not too much smoke, maybe 6 pucks of apple.
Dry brine 5c demerara to 1c pickling salt rubbing each piece. 8 to 10 hrs is enough i do overnight, any longer gets too salty. Rinse. 2hrs pellicle then 2hrs at 120deg 2hrs at 140 and 2hrs 160. Refrigerate overnight then can makes it easier to work with.So do you do a full brine first as well?

Thanks! I'm in Vancouver but that's very kind of you. I have smoked stuff in the freezer that I'll do a test with.If you're around the south island you're welcome to a jar
Right on. Keep in mind that I think its the heavy sugars that make it right, the juice comes out a bit carmelized.Thanks! I'm in Vancouver but that's very kind of you. I have smoked stuff in the freezer that I'll do a test with.
My brine is super sweet, probably more like 10/1. I think that makes a lot of sense now actually. I might even try it with some candied stuff.Right on. Keep in mind that I think its the heavy sugars that make it right, the juice comes out a bit carmelized.
