    Salmon

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    A cold smoke salmon question, having cured and smoked a side when slicing it there seems to be a 'grey' area running through the middle of the fish which is slightly tougher than the rest of the flesh, am I doing something wrong or do I need to change the cure/smoke to negate it ?

    Obvious that all the part time BBQ’ers have rushed out to buy meat for the yearly cremation!

    Well it is a Bank Holiday, and a hot one at that   ...

    So I contacted the local butcher yesterday and spoke to them about the BBQ packs they do saying that I'd pop in today, I get there at 3pm only to find the bugger's closed already, so no nice butchers meat this week end, might have to call in at the local shop which rhymes with Wescos....  dam dam dam , i'm not upset, really I'm not ???

    I, as I'm sure lots of others on here use Facebook and other social media sites, I am on a FB page CountryWoodSmoke - UK BBQ - CWS and found today that there are at least 4 members within driving distance from me, I was just wondering if others knew of locals on a FB page, I have pointed then towards this group , the more the merrier

    Hi Steve, to make sure a member replies, simply @ then name, @Wade

    When I was 10 - 12 yrs old ( and up to 18 yrs old) I had a job in a fishmongers ( you dont see them anymore) and on a daily basis I'd fill a cast iron bath with water and brine all the cod and haddock fillets and at the end of the day I'd put them on the poles and stack them in the smoker, put a few shovel fulls of oak dust at the bottom of it light it and then empty it the following day ( on school holiday that is), learnt so much about fish, cleaning , filleting them, smoking them, skining them along with all other things that go with fishmongering, Oh the old days :)
