So I had some salmon the mother in law wanted me to smoke for her and it was only a few small pieces so I decided to add to it. I had a bunch of tuna left over from my last trip out of Garibaldi (Oregon coast) and a while I was at it I decided to throw on a cod fillet from a trip I made to Alaska with my grandfather.

I used my normal brown sugar brine for all of them and I am amazed at how good the cod turned out!!!!!!!! I was worried it would get soft and fall apart but it was great!!! I did them all at about 125* for the first couple hours with Alder and apple smoke and then turned up the heat to 140* for another hour and finished them at 160* for the last hour.

Here are the pictures

Just starting the brine

I am very happy how the tuna and cod came out!!! I will definately do more this way!!!
 
Can you tell me how you do your brine? I see the dry ingredients in the first 2 pictures and then it looks like you added liquid to it? Do you dredge the fish in the dry mix first then add water to the bowl?
 
Here is the recipe for the salmon

The juice you see created by the fish itself sitting in the brown sugar. No liquid is added


1 cup canning salt
7 cups brown sugar
3 Tbsp onion powder
3 Tbsp garlic powder
1 1/2 Tbsp black pepper


Let er soak in the rub for 12 hours, then move the bottom meat to the top and vice versa to get the other half of the meat into the juice created.

Smoke for 3-4 hours @ 140ish. When the fish is almost done turn the heat up to 160-165 for an hour to help kill anything that might need it.



There is an option to this recipe. Rub red pepper flakes on the fish right after it comes out of the brine.




I personally smoke for 3-4 hours at 120-130, then up the heat to 165 for an hour or so to get the internal temps up and finish the fish.
 
Dang Hoss you are smoking it up. That fish looks awesome. I could go for some of that. Pack up the leftovers and send to Louisiana...
