    Hi all, First time poster. This is probably discussed elsewhere but I can't find all the info, so I apologize if it is repetition. I have a batch of cold smoked salmon, completed: 6lbs of fish (frozen sockeye), 2 lbs of 50/50 sugar/salt dry brine for 18 hours. It got very soupy/syrupy...

    hot smoked salmon

    I smoked a whole salmon yesterday on my bubba grills offset. I followed this recipe. I've never smoked salmon and I discovered it's a messy, expensive thing to prepare. I filleted and then cut up the 20 pound fish into one pound chunks. I brined those for about 8 hours. I rinsed well, then let...

    What else would be good to smoke with Salmon at a low 150 degrees and using fruitwood?

    What else would be good to smoke with Salmon at a low 150 degrees and using fruitwood? 1) Most of my smoking has been for meat at temperatures of 225+ degrees. Was thinking cheese, but 150 degrees is too high for that. Maybe vegetables, peppers, smoked salt, Mac and cheese? Any suggestion for...

    It has been a minute

    So I haven’t been around the forum for a long time. I imagine this past year has been crazy for everyone. Thought I’d post the smoke I’ve got going on. Picked up a side of salmon for about $4/lb. Its Atlantic farm raised but beggars on a budget. Firm, no smell or slime. Not a bad peace of fish...

    Crab Stuffed Salmon

    Two of my favorite foods came together. I started with about 3/4 cup of crab stuffing. The picked meat is seasoned with chopped onion, Old Bay, mayonnaise, parsley, garlic and lemon juice and allowed to chill for a couple of hours. After making some slits in the fillet, the flesh was rubbed...

    Lox Plus

    I have made Lox a few times. The classic Lox involves packing salmon in a salt mix to draw liquid out and help preserve the salmon. It is delicious. However, my twisted mind wanted more. I have also made Ceviche and love the citrus flavours. I also smoke a lot of meat and thought some smoke...

    Hey all, I'm doing my first wet-brined salmon which I'll cold-smoke afterwards. I've dry brined but never wet. I'm having a hard time figuring out the right way to measure quantities for the brine, especially the Prague Powder. What quantities and rules of thumb do you use?
