Post by: Mr B on October 22, 2010, 04:29:00 PM
Here's some Salmon I caught on the Trinity River a week prior.

18 hours in my Aunts Special Brine Recipe.

After drying w/ paper towel, left to air-dry for and hour.  Cover in Fresh Cracked Black Pepper

Smoke 2 hrs @205 over Apple (80%) Alder (10%) and Hickory (10%)

Nice!  Care to share the brine recipe?  (without causing a family rift)

I'm going to try fish one of these days...   Salmon is too rich for the Mrs, so I might try some smoked halibut or ahi tuna or marlin or something like that.

That Salmon looks good.  I don't have a good brine recipe for hot smoked fish. I'm with Squirt, if you care to share.

Is the element glowing read? It sounds like you are only getting heat from the Smoke generator.

Hey Squirt

I've had great luck with trout from Costco.

Makes a great appetizer with crackers .

Thanks for the love guys.  I hope you can understand, I made a promiss 20 years ago to never tell her brine recipe to anyone.  I love sharing when I can, but this is a family recipe.  I dont mean to be a jerk or anything.  It is what it is.  My brother, myself and one other person know it.  And thats how she wants it.
It is simple though.  A certain liquid, salt and brown sugar.

Thanks guys
Mr B
