As always your videos are extremely knowledgeable and I love how your boys help out and enjoy the feast you provide from living off the land. With the smocking house would different types of wood provide a different smoke that would change the taste of the fish or meat cooking? God bless you all
Instead of throwing away your fish "middles" as you call them. Fire up your grill,melt some butter, garlic salt. Baste them as they grill. Great snack for picking the meat.Enjoy and be blessed
That’s why buffalo are such good hoopnet and turtle bait...super bloody and it slowly oozes out of em over days :-). Dude that smoked fish looked awesome!!!!! Tastes like ham??? Brother you make some fish that tastes like bacon then you may have something haha
We always keep some buttered white bread on the table when we're eating whole fish in case anyone swallows a bone. Just take a bite out of the buttered bread and when you swallow it the bone goes with it and your stomach acid does the rest. Also, on common carp, buffalo fish, and Gasper Goos. Where the Y bones are in the meat simply make shallow cuts all the way down where the bones are about a quarter of an inch apart. Through the Bones but not through the entire fish. Then whenever you fry it, can it, bake or boil or smoke it. Those bones simply crumble in your mouth like those in most canned fish.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures . I grew up eating Gasper Goos as well. But haven't had the opportunity in the last twenty years or so. My grandpa used to catch them all the time on his jug lines and I'd catch them while fishing near his cabin once in a while. He of course caught multiple species of fish but we ate everything he caught. I'm probably just missing remembering how boney they were or weren't in this case. But I appreciate your response. I'm in Texas BTW. Born and raised.
I live in idaho and most of the fish we smoke are trout and salmon but I don't like a liquid brine like most people. I use a dry mix of salt, brown sugar, and lemon pepper then use cherry wood. I let the brine work for a day and then rinse off and dry in front of a fan
I think I found my new favorite RU-vid channel. Liked and subscribed. Great video. I am thinking of trying to smoke some fish but mine will probably come from the supermarket.
Yes that’s awesome! I’m getting very excited about the fish run in April/May! I hope we don’t have flooding...... that happens every few years and ruins the whole thing!
I had some smoked bass last summer and boy that was good. I’ve got plans on building a smokehouse this summer once the garden is finally in. I wanna smoke some trout or salmon.
Thanks for the informative video as always. Great tip about the bone🤔 I was hoping that you wasn’t going to say grab the needle-nose pliers. Thanks for posting 🐟
It looked really good ! I can't believe it tasted like ham . I bet it was from the smoke . You make cleaning those fish look easy . How is the corn doing now that it warmed up ?
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I'm glad there are still some parents that raise their children to enjoy working with their own hands, instead of propping their feet whilst leeching off of others.
im in for some smoked fish! this is awesome nicely done- love that smokehouse its legit! just subscribed look forward to seeing more videos on your channel- cheers
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures no problem at all, love the channel- family and the outdoors living life the right way! youre cooks are exactly what i look for too love the dove, possum, and deer brain vids! love to cook wild game when i can get my hands on it- i hunt when i can but dont trap a lot. keep in touch! cheers
We enjoy watching the videos. If I may ask, where do you get your bags of salt to salt cure your bacon and other piggie stuff? Local shop or online? Really learning a lot from you. I think our homestead is not far from yours. We're near Monterey.
Your youngest cracks me up. Boy is a chow hound! LoL. I can't imagine when he's a teenager. He'll eat you out of house and home. LoL. The fish looked great. Have you tried pickled fish? Sounds and looks odd but it's great. My buddy does crappy.
