How to smoke fish 

thanks for the video. My grandpha (italian) smoked prosciutto and fish in a 2x2 hut. In Argentina, where i live they used to make the peruvian method (using a 200 lts metal oil barrel whitout the up and bottom cover like a chimmey and the fish/meat hooked with ¨s¨ shape hooks). Cheers from Argentina!!

Whiting are one of my favorite to smoke here in Jax. Fl. Very abundant easy to load up the cooler and fun cheers from Jacksonville Florida

a friend of mine smokes fish and is really good at it. when he first started he had trouble with over smoking. so he researched and found that mangrove was the best to use but we don't have any here in north Florida, with further research he found that our native swamp titi was in the mangrove family. according to my friend he never has to worry about over smoking any more. smoked Amber Jack and blue runners are much better than jack craval. Logger John.

Eels are delicious...most fish is delicious..and anyone that can get it fresh is very lucky!

sea trout and flounder are awesome smoked

NE Florida here. I'm doing AJ for the first time. Thanks for the tips.

Hey my friend, I’ve tried the Dorado which lives in the Cabo’s coast down in northern west Mexico and is amazing for smoking. Truly recommendable. All da best and congrats for your job.

I'm up in Michigan , we've smoked walleye, other than mentioned salmon and trout. But I usually soak my wo o d chips in bourbon or use apple juice in the water pan,, depending on what I'm cooking. For ribs just wrap the soaked chips in alunimum foil and poke some holes in it

Spotted Sea Trout and Whiting. Very good! Southern Texas

Good stuff mate. Another good seasoning you could try is brown sugar with salt and pepper, another good one is sweet chilli sauce. Really nice you should try it

Herring fish is the number one fish we smoke in the isle of man. .after coming out of the smoke house it's called a kipper..

My favourites, in no particular order, Great Lakes eel, St. Lawrence sturgeon, North Atlantic herring, and Northern pike. I didn't put salmon in the list because it's its own food group. Lord how I love smoked fish. Awesome video.

I did whole mangrove snappers today, about 14” not butterflied, and they were amazing. I also did a snook fillet on the half shell and that was amazing as well. I used apple pellets for mangrove and mesquite on my offset smoker for the snook

I lived in Christmas Florida and I too spent a lot of time fishing and frogging and playing in an airboat on the Saint Johns River.

Whiting - smoke it then pick it and mix the pickings with spices and mayo (sea twang from Mrs Peters in Rio FL - near Jensen Beach, FL). Blue Marlin used to be awesome - but cannot catch/keep anymore. Mako (or any) shark is good smoked too. Tuna and/or bonito are awesome smoked.

I love smoked mullet. I have eaten smoked Barracuda. It was pretty good.

My son and I have been smoking swai and pollock. We buy frozen fillets, thaw them out, season with a rub, and smoke for a couple of hours at around 250 degrees. So far we've used it to make a cream cheese based fish spread that's great. I've had fish spread made from mullet and other oily fishes but prefer a milder white fish.

Solid video. Thanks!

lol, we wanted it dry--that's what I would say also. Good recipe--thanks!

Good vid, glad I found ya, up here in Pensacola you'll find mostly mullet & sheepshead in our smokers, awesome straight up or in speads,

we use woodchips and or sawdust for smoking ,this go's in a tray that is placed over burning charcoal so it gets heated up to it starts to smoke ,if it starts to burn it gets emidiatly sprayed so the flames can not reach what ever is smoking ,also the meat or fish is hanged in the smoker so the exces fat can drip of

I loved the Seminole / Swamp disclaimer!

Catfish, brim,and drum are good smoked.

Whiting is really good smoked

They look great, I’ll try them the weekend 👍

Freshwater fish for smoking as Common Carp 2 to 6 lb fish are best, Water sheephead is a whitemeat fish, from lakes. also good smoked, Sheephead can also be pan fried, but remove the meat from skin side first, leaving only the white flesh.

Yumee, I just love dried fish biscuits.

Any tips about smoking freshwater fish like Crappie, Walleye, Perch or White Bass? Catfish?

In my country we corned or salt for home use but I like the smoked one also

Snapper and Tuna is also really good. Applewood? Thanks for the tip gotta try that here in Philippines. GREAT VIDEO and thanks for the rub tip. AWSOME gonna try that here.

Buffalo fish and bullheads are pretty nice smoked too. 4am wishing i had some smoked fish right now. In minnesota we get a lot of salmon and trout but herring is really nice smoked too.

Wow that looks Mighty delicious

Smoked fish is the best.

Love smoked Speckled Trout, Reds, Flounder, Pompano, triggerfish, grouper, all snappers, blackfin shark, stingrays wings (skin them first, also sharks).

smoked amberjack delious

Redfish are great smoked

smoked menominee from the great lakes is the best I have ever had

Smoked Eels are eaten a lot here in New Zealand!

Smoking carp. It’s really good.

I just browsed real quick and immediately got Seminole swamp seasoning up on Amazon Prime immediately; just FYI/ don't know if you were still having a problem or not.

Cool video , striped bass is awesome smoked

Kelly Young recently did a video where she cooked and ate~~~BONITA!!! Auggg! I cooked some once and my cats wouldn't even look at it!

Smoked Pompano is great!!

Best technique!

I hate bluefish. Until I smoked it. Wow. Totally different fish.

Any oily fish is the best fish to smoke. Here in New Zealand we smoke a lot of kahawai and mullet and it’s sweeeeeeeeeeeet az! L0L

Thats a good sharp knife. I like it.

THANKS I DID THIS AND LOVED IT

Very informative, thank you for sharing.

How do you leave out catfish? Smoked catfish is awesome.

Thanks for sharing Sir👍

Awesome "chowdah" fish too.

amberjack is awesome

Redfish ... they are good smoked for a fish dip

Smoked raccoons are good too!

Thanks

We like smoked white fish and catfish around here!

Here in St. Pete we smoke the living shit outta pinfish ... its got a very strong fish taste ... perfect without salt curing and smoked using all oak chunks and saw dust.. no coal over here.. good stuff

Try smoking redfish...makes a great fish dip

Yep, excellent recipe

You can seminal swamp seasoning on Amazon.

Smoked catfish no joke very good

You may as well dip frying and will be the same in 10 min

If you want better tasting fish? When you catch them gut them and salt and put on ice in your cooler right then. Don't let rig set in on your freshly caught fish and you will see the difference in taste. Enjoy. :)

jack crevalle is a good one for smoking

Show an eel fishing trip, please. OK ha ha. Keep fishing. And cooking those ocean treasures.

Never done this or eat this we eat salted fish.. How long can we store this. Can we vaccum pack this and store for long..

My grandfather us to smoke us Kobia in south floroda.

You did a great job. What was the temperature range of the smoker? I don’t know what temperature range to look for.

Nice.... I also have alternative on my channel. Good job here

Red Drum on the half shell?

Where can you get the smoker to buy can you make a video of how to set up the fire, and can any wood work?

Great video 👍

Beautiful

Great video - what temp do you smoke at?

i am going to do smoked fish for the very first time any tips as i am a beginner

You want dry fish, you got it pal.😂😂🐠

Smoked tautog. Cape cod turkey!

I like Everglade Seasoning. Have you ever used that?

Yum, fish jerky. I grew up eating smoked mullet and I like it better than smoked salmon. Any oily fish is awesome smoked. Thanks for the video.

If you ever get the opportunity to try smoked sturgeon, don't pass it up. Another favorite of mine is smoked American shad.

i thought you were gonna brine them but you only dry cured?

Smoked white bass

Do you have a video on making this smoker?

Try walleyes

Best smoking fish is salmon yummy yummy agreed 👍

Smoke 🐟😋

Curious about large/small mouth bass. And blue Gill on the smoke. I normally head em and grill them whole. Never smoked a bass or a blue Gill tho. I do smoke the crap out of trout as I'm land locked in AZ.

Mac and blues

How long do you keep trout on a smoker you never mention that

Love it 👍❤️

great thanks

Depends on the taste but smoke meat shouldn't be dry. It should be soft and jucy

As far as fresh water fish to smoke, the common carp. One of the most eaten fish in the entire world. Check out RU-vid on how to prepare to get past all the little Y bones. Simple solution. Also the Gasper Goo, aka fresh water drum, excellent tasting firm fleshed fish, great smoked! Also buffalo fish, mistakenly called buffalo carp. No such critter. Buffalo fish are great on the smoker as well. Suckers are commonly smoked as are gizzard shad. The Roe of all the above fish once properly brined to remove all the fishy tasting blood from them are excellent smoked and fried. A basic tip if you have never prepared many of these so called " Rough fish" is that you should bleed them while they are still alive and in the water. Getting rid of all the blood is the main trick to make these some of the best fish you've ever put in your mouth. The jumping Aisan Carp are also excellent fair along with it's Roe. Same prep applies.

You dont use any garlic or dill? Just rubs?

#1 Marlin on hickory.

No , I'll keep doing it my way , scaled head on .
