First attempt at whiting: any advice?

[hangmanli]

hey folks,

I went offshore fishing yesterday with a friend. We caught a lot of Whiting.
Fish have been cleaned and the heads removed. The skin is still on the fish.

Up until now I have only smoked venison and I have not done any fish yet. I have a Bradley 4 shelf smoker. I do not use the Bisquettes much anymore. I use the A-Maze-In smoke tube mostly.

This is considered a white fish meat.
Since this will be my first attempt at smoking fish what should I do? Any tips?

Thanks!

Thanks for the recipe. However like I said previously mine are NOT fillets. They are on the bone and with the skin.

They’ve been in the brine for a few days.
I’ve been busy and the temperature outside has been in the mid 90’s.

Was going to try and smoke them Later today

Is it too late?

If you have them in a fridge that is at 38°F you should be okay,your nose will tell you if they are bad.Post up some pics when you get them done
Good Luck
