Smoking trout

[kyta66]

Skin side up or down when smoking trout? What is the best way to do it for other fish skin up or down?

 

[SmokinAl]

Skin down.

If I use fillets bone them before?

always skin down, down here on the bayou we do red fish on the half shell. reds are a salt water fish that have scales the size of a nickle up to quarter size. the skin and scales are like a serving plate once it's done. The meat flakes right off,
