Smokin' Shark! South Fla style

[fishindave07]

A couple days ago a few buddys of mine and I caught a nice Black Tip and decided to keep it and divy up the meat. i've got a couple steaks that i grilled with a Teriyaki glaze and MAN was that good. I'm planning on smoking a few steaks soon. I have a ton of Hickory wood chunks, would that work? should i use apple, cherry, maple, or alder for a softer flavor?

Here is the shark:

Looks like you have some fine eating there! I've always liked alder for fish. Seems a bit milder than the rest. Seems like fish absorbs the smoke much easier than other meats.

yup alder-used to visit mexico beaches and have had shark sun baked under the sand-what fun times back than.

Hickory is okay for fish. Shark isn't an oily fish so it won't hold up to long smoking anyway. Get a little smoke on it and enjoy.
