Hey cmayna what's your recipe and smoking times for this fish jerky? It looks great!

 

[cmayna]

Dry brine of dark brown sugar and non iodized salt.

Brine for 3-4 hours

air dry under a fan for 2 hours

Smoke around 140-150 for 2 hours

Dehydrate for 4.5-6 hours depending on thickness.

Cmayna what are the amounts of brown sugar & salt do you add and how much liquids? You use water? I thinking about trying this out after this falls salmon run we had. Thanks for the help in advance!

No liquids.  Dry brine using 1/4 ratio of (non iodized salt / brown sugar)

 

[ernurse28]

So just to clarify so I don't ruin a batch. Are you doing 1/4c brown sugar and 1/4c non iodized salt per pound of fish jerky?

 

[cmayna]

No. What I listed previously is a ratio.    Meaning for instance 1 cup of salt over 4 cups of sugar  =  (1/4).  For instance today I did 6# of salmon into Nuggets using the same ratio.  I doubled the dry brine recipe (2 cups salt over 8 cups of sugar), with the idea that I might have extra dry brine left over.
