Attempting To Smoke Trout
Thanks for the instructions. I'll have to give a dry brine a try. We had a banner day in the stream last Monday and have about two dozen fillets still in the freezer. -
Attempting To Smoke Trout
Smoked another batch of trout. The pro smokers who had tried my first batch said it was spot on, but family and friends said it was too salty. So this time I halved the salt in my brine. We wanted to serve it at a party the day after we got back from our fishing excursion, so I could only let... -
Attempting To Smoke Trout
I don't mind the sweetness, in fact I like it, but I would like a little more balance between the flavors. I didn't cook to 160 by design, I just left them in until they had reached the right level of moisture. I only mentioned it because I was surprised how slowly the temperature of the meat... -

Attempting To Smoke Trout
Just put 8 rainbow fillets in brine. I went with 3 parts brown sugar to 1 part salt, plus a healthy sprinkle of dill and a jigger of Cointreau just for something different. I plan on smoking it this evening after work. -

A friend is suggesting dry white wine instead of water for my brine...anybody ever try this? -
Attempting To Smoke Trout
Hi everyone, I live in Missouri and my wife and I regularly go trout fishing with our friends down in the Ozarks. After staring at a freezer full of rainbow fillets long enough, one feels compelled to get creative preparing them. I remembered the delicious smoked fish my grandfather used to...
