Wade Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Friday 8 pm at home. I am sitting watching TV waiting for Joyce to fetch my slippers and pour me a large Woodford Reserve, whilst she finishes cooking my dinner **. A knock on the door... "Hi Wade, can you smoke a couple of Trout for me that I caught today?". "Sure" I said, "bring them in"... He struggled in with the very large cool box and he said "I am in no hurry for them". "How many are there?" I asked "I am not sure" he said. "Maybe 25 or 30" !!!!! What was expected to be a nice quiet weekend suddenly wasn't. They are now all gutted and filleted and in the fridge (there were actually 26 fish) and I will smoke them tomorrow. I didn't take any photos of them with heads, fins and tails but I will take some when they are in the smoker. ** Those of you who know Joyce will suspect that this may not be totally accurate ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 All smoked, sliced and packed now. Here is a photo from about 2/3 of the way through the batch Because of the volume of fish I immersion brined them for 5 minutes (150g salt per litre of water) before allowing them to drain for about an hour and then smoked at 20 C for 20 hours. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
