Smoked Trigger Fish

[Gator]

Hi I just smoked some Trigger Fish using my new Bradley Digital smoker.
Came out mouth watering, with NO fishy taste!
I would recommend anyone give this a try.

 

Vanilla Soy Milk
Brown Sugar
Hungry Jack Lite Syrup
Tones Premixed Salmon and Seafood Seasoning
Grill Mates Seafood Rub
4 packs Equal

Directions:

Combine brown sugar and Vanilla Soy Milk, Hungry Jack Lite Syrup, Tones Premixed Salmon and Seafood Seasoning plus Equal . Stir until sugar is fully dissolved. Use 1 cup vanilla Soy milk and syrup to cover the fish, and enough brown sugar about 1 lb to sweeten to your particular taste.
Place fish in one gallon resalable plastic bag's, and pour marinade over the fish. Refrigerate and marinate overnight turning bag over occasionally.
Remove fish from the plastic bags.
Before smoking, sprinkle some Grill Mates Seafood Rub on the fish.
Before smoking, sprinkle brown sugar on the top of the fish.
Smoke for about 1 1/2 hours ( depending on the thickness of the fish ) at 150 degrees F; use apple smoke pucks for 1 1/2 hours (check fish for doness at the 1 1/2 hour mark).
Fish is done when it flakes easily.
NOTE: Do not over smoke will dry out the fish!



Good Luck and enjoy

Gator,

I hate all these pictures of excellent looking food. I wish I lived on your block.
The fish looks great. I am salivating.

Nice - I didn't think trigger fish were edible.

Hi Gator;

Your recipes look good, and have been ready to be posted, but I haven't gotten a reply from the PM I sent you. The question is about your smoke times on this recipe. Generally you check the fish 30 minutes before the end of the suggested smoke times, this one you don't. I want to make sure there are no error and times are correct before I move the recipes to the public area of the recipe site.

1 1/2 hours for trigger is perfect!

Looks VERY tasty, moist/flaky/not overdone...doesn't get any better for white!! Wish halibut would come out that way every time :-\

Don't think I'd ever seen a trigger fish before.  The finished product looks absolutely DELICIOUS!!  As Kummok said, moist and flaky - perfect.  Way to go.

Trigger fish are a very tasty fish, has nice white meat and is a sweet tasting fish!

And can be grilled, smoked, broiled or fried and is good anyway you cook it!
