It's been a long week, but finally got to my trout (caught in White River, AR).
I love smoked fish in general, but smoked trout is hard to beat!
Starts with a few hours of brine:
Then comes critical step - drying stack (to develop "pelicle").
(Don't laugh) for hot weather days I have a little outdoor "system" set up, it takes about 2hrs, w/a couple of turns:
...it works.
Here is that nice pelicle, developed after only 2hrs:
From there - strait into the smoker:
Ready in few hours - typically about 2hrs at ~140 followed by about 2hrs at ~175, done:
Typically getting too late for a meal... so resting o/n:
Next morning - wonderful breakfast! with fresh sourdough and a little mayo:
Works every time, lol. Love it.
And of course everything tastes better washed down w/this new favorite:
