Smoked Trout

[Ishi]

I went back Trout fishing this last week for four days and caught plenty! Caught more Browns this trip plus I went to a Brook Trout stream and they are native to Iowa and very beautiful fish!

The Brook stream has special regulations and all Brooks had to be released plus I release all Brownies.
I took home six Rainbows and decided to dry cure them and put the smoke to them.
I did a search and followed forktenders method for the instructions.
4 parts Brown Sugar and 1 part Kosher salt and dry cured them for 11 hours and after the rinse put them under a fan for 3 hours.
A Smoke tube was added to the Yoder and it didn’t take long to reach temps.
This is the only pic I took and man they turned out crazy good with the right amount of salt taste.

Now I’m trying to figure out when I can go back to do this again

Nice. I am not in any way a trout fisherman, but I have caught a few here in Virginia and enjoyed them sizzled up with some bacon fat on a Coleman stove in the mountains. Smallmouth trip mixed with trout on a beautiful mountain creek. Brings back good memories.

Really nice smoked fish. The Brooks are my favorite trout (they are a Char) we have Brookie fries as often as possible in the summer.

We love trout here and yours looks amazing. I have never smoked any. Just pan fried them.

Looks tasty! I love smoked fish but have never had smoked trout. An old buddy used to make killer smoked catfish. I'd go car h a mess if the smaller ones he likes to smoke and he'd split them with me.

This was supper Monday night while fishing! Trout fried in bacon grease and it’s a great way to prepare them

I used a pellet smoker and I’m not sure what flavor the pellets were. It was a warmer day and the grill was around 180 degrees and took 2 hours give or take.

I dry brined six fillets in brown sugar and salt, per your suggestion. Then I smoked for three hours at 140 and 225 ( when I started running out of time) with apple wood. The fish was delicious. I was surprised that a very sticky pellicle formed in an hour. That was a time-saving treat. I would absolutely cook it like this again.
