Thresher shark

[ssfantasea]

I am getting some  fresh thresher from a friend of mine tonight.  Just caught yesterday afternoon.

Guess what I'm gonna do... I'm gonna smoke it.  Any tips, ideas or info out there?

Assuming that it was bleed and ice properly after landing, you'll have some great fish! I haven't smoked Thresher before, but have had it grilled over an open fire on the beach in Hawaii! I would use a  sweet wood, apple, peach, cherry. Don't over season it. And unless your wanting jerky, don't over cook it! Lets see some Q-view when its done! How big was it? We had a 16' thresher on last year while tuna fishing. After several long runs it finally bit through the line just out of gaff reach!

Great meat.

We always grilled ours.

If it will stand up to grilling, it will stand up to a careful smoke.  Very substantial as seafood goes.

Give us some pics?

Good luck and good smoking.
