    Is Pollock a mild fish that's good to smoke ?

    Like Richie says, it's a very mild fish. I've breaded and deep fried them before but never smoked. I have smoked a lot of flounder and I would say that it's a similar type of meat smoke wise so I would not give it a long heavy smoke. Try a batch and see how you like it, you can always adjust.

    Chicken Gumbo

    Gumbo This is for sure my favorite south Louisiana stew, that ubiquitous Cajun favorite called gumbo. I’ve decided to preface this with a little history behind the dish because it deserves a little more time, story and subsequent space to present. Like its siblings Jambalaya and Etouffee, gumbo...

    Back on the BBQ! - LONDON BROIL WITH CREAMY BLUE CHEESE HORSERADISH SAUCE

    I love the gorgonzola sauce. although I've used fish sauce (wife is Asian so I live with it !!) and lime juice, I too am wondering about tenderness. It look delicious regardless, nice job !!! Next time try sous vide. Cook at about 131 for 24 hours, then sear. Makes the meat like budda !!!
