Making some smoked Whiting for Christmas this year. Got some fresh fish in NYC, brined overnight and rolling apple smoke in the OBS.

Never had smoked white fish, do you just eat it like smoked salmon or is it used in a recipe?

Just like salmon. Pick off bones and eat with some good crusty Italian bread.

Finished. Going to let this rest overnight in the frig.

Look great Sam3, I normally fillet white fish before smoking but definitely going to give your method a go! Thanks for posting. :)

Whiting doesn't have a lot of needle bones to worry about. The meat comes right off, making it easy to pick at.

My wife loves smoked smelt (I call it salmon Bait) . Do you want to share your brine receipt maybe :)
