I guess this is for the UK boys. Has anyone smoked Ling before? I caught a couple of crackers of 10 & 12lb. Made lovely thick, meaty fillets. Did some Pollock a while back. 30mins 80% brine then 6 hours cold oak smoke. Thinking of something similar.

Any thoughts?

Cheers.
I've only been wrong once, and that's when I thought I was wrong. But I was'nt.

Try Kummok's salmon brine on them.  It was fantastic on barracuda.

Yes, I threw in a few fillets of ling last time I did some calig (pollack). Brined the fillets for 20 - 30 mins in 80% brine as I normally do with the calig, and cold smoked for around 8 hours. (i.e very similar to how you process calig)

Turned out ok but to be honest I prefered the calig, however I prefer calig to ling in any case but certainly worth trying. :)
