Smoke Fish Spread (Amberjack)

[gators2000]

I smoked some Amberjack a few weeks ago and never got a chance to post the pics.  This is a recipe I've really perfected over the past few years and it came out amazing once again.  We caught several nice AJ's off the West coast of FL and prepared them with the skin on the fillets.  

Lemon Juiced and Garlic Buttered down

I smoke the fish pretty hot using hickory for smoke.  I shoot for about 275-300 and it only took them about 1.25 hours.  just pulled off...

I then shred the meat, mix the ingredients and enjoy.  I like them with some crystal hot sauce and a Jalapeno on a Club Cracker!

Nope. Just leave them on top while its cooking. You can taste the flavor of them in the meat.
