    Smoked Haddock #2.

    in Fish

    Posted · Edited by Icefever

    The fillets have been resting in the fridge for 36 hrs...they are now vac-packed and in the freezer.....at the same time I rinsed the last block of loin bacon that's now in the fridge to dry...that's heading to the smoker on Sat.

    Ok Garland..my brine was 3/1...3 cups of water to 1 cup of kosher salt...along with a grind of black pepper & a good pinch of coriander.  Use whatever spice suit you...I didn' t weighed the fillets  ☹️....but for time wise ....brined for 20 mins as they were big fillets.

    Smoke time was around 5 hours maybe a little longer I went by colour on the fish

    I enjoy making our sausages. I do have a stuffer but I just add a slice of bread to take the last bit of meat out of the stuffer....I also do this trick when grinding the meat.

    With a smoke gen you go with what fits you...I use the ProQ  CSG but I pop the dust in the microwave for 3 mins to make sure it's dry...that way I don't have any problems.

    Hi Ice......what are your  adventures?

     

    Many & varied my friend...🤣 but back to bbq & smoking. I started curing our own bacon about 3 years, I smoke a lot of our bacon,  pancetta...I did knock up a cold smoke cabinet a while back so that I didn't have to use my ProQ bullet....

    Over last weekend I did 5 large haddock fillets,  I make our sausages...looking to do some Polish one and then smoke them maybe this weekend??

    I've got a landman...there's a large post on here about them...not the best but at the time the price fitted my pocket...sort of got me started so to say.

    I have built a cold smoker and like you was constantly checking but I have learned to have faith, I have a fan so I can see the smoke coming out but also know how to balance the fan speed and air inlet to ensure smoke levels in the smoker. I have a side of salmon on the go at the moment and haven’t looked once yet in 10 hours, just about to replenish the smoke maze so that is the first chance to look at it, I hope it is ok 🤞

    "Patience is a virtue " they say.... I just like to keep an eye on things. 😉 I do have a small pc fan that I may fit..it's finding the time.  Hope the salmon comes out ok...we do like photos of what's going on. 👍.

    Did this thing sell out already because that link just takes me to the front page and I've search and it doesn't show up?

    They are now £180, so if you picked on up for £85 you got a bargain!

    That was £85 when I posted.....make you think either it was listed wrong or they started to sell so they up'd the price???

    I'll give you yellow when I see you....🤣😎...that's the main reason I'm doing my own...Morrisons do sell the yellow fillets but they also do natural smoke haddock.

    Just started off some Haddock fillets and got to thinking about this cabinet I'm using. Every time I want to check the smoke generator I open the door and let a load of smoke out....I know it's not rocket science 🤣....so I need a tray fixed at the bottom so as not to disturb the flow of smoke.

    I'm now thinking about making a shallow section to add under the cabinet which will hold the tray for the CSG.

    Cheers Ice. Can't beat a smoked Haddie! Self caught?

    No mate...we're in Warwick as far from the sea as you get...😆...just taken the fillets out the brine to dry,  then I'm prepping a rack of ribs ready for the ProQ for later.
