One other thing to do with leftover smoked fish is mix it with some cream cheese for a really tasty cracker dip

One of my favorite Steelhead recipe's is to make 1"x1" cubes season them as you wish.I lean toward Adobo with white pepper.Then you wrap the chunks in bacon and pin them with a toothpick.Put them on the grill untill the bacon is about done then dip them in your favorite BBQ sauce and return them to the grill until the bacon is done.People tell me its too weird to use bbq on fish but dont knock it till you try it.I have done this with 4 steelies over 8# all at once and that is the fastest I have seen that much fish disappear.

hello coz

do you leave the skin when you cut the fish into cubes or take it off i may have to try this outwhen we grilled the fish i wrapped it in foil with onion and lemon and bacon we do sometimes like to put bbq sause on it just to change things up a bit and i agree it is good well you guys take care talk at you later

Salmon Clubber,I always take the skin off unless I am going to grill a whole fillet or smoke the fish.We do salmon a lot of different ways and usually is skin off.Watch for me to post a recipe called Salmon fit for a queen.Kinda stuffed fillet kind of thing and it is good.Shrimp, crab meat ,etc.Should have it posted by sunday P.M.
