Smoked Basa

[hoogl]

I did this cook last month but hadn't uploaded it so since it's raining again I thought I would. 

Mini Kamado set up with homemade deflector ( stainless steel camping plate above an old microwave rack)

Fish seasoned with a store bought Lime Pepper rub. Some Beech chips on Lumpwood.  

I left the bigger ends towards the outside. Probed to 65C 

Chips made in AirFryer. 

The good Lady said it was the best Fish she had. Very juicy and great flavour. Hopefully when the weather improves I'll do it again.

Looks great. How do you rate Basa? See it everywhere, never tried it and always end up choosing Cod or Haddock.

I love Basa, buy it all the time, it's my go to white fish. It's cheap and takes flavour well plus I've never had a bone in it. A lot of people are put off as it's a type of Cat Fish but tastes great. Had some smoked Basa last night breaded for some homemade fish & chips. 😁

It was originally Two fillets, I cut so they would fit better and to keep the small bits protected.

I would say thats 'thinking outside the box' but I think 'thinking inside the kamado' would be more suited👍😋
