Smoked Rock Cod recipe?

[cmayna]

I have just way too much Rock Cod and need to give some if it away but would like some to be smoked. I have successfully smoked Ling Cod in a 24 hour wet brine, but find Rock Cod as being too dry using same recipe. Should I just extend the brining time or find another recipe?. Does anyone have a successful recipe for this fish?

Wish it was that simple. For me smoked fish is much easier to give away versus uncooked. Still researching possible recipes

Its been many years since I've smoked fish other than salmon, ling and black cod but I don't remember ever smoking rock cod. Being commercial fisherman we smoked everything including sole so we must not have liked it. We preferred it for fish & chips over any other fish though.

That is how we currently are with Rock. Great for fish & chips, taco's skilletized, etc. Just hoping I find a smoking recipe that will get me fired up like I do with Ling and Salmon. Still going to try a couple recipes in a couple days to see "what if......"

With so much Rock, I got plenty to be guinea pigs for the smoker.
