This recipe will accommodate 7.5 kg (15 lb) of fish. However, it is important to make certain all the fish is covered with the brine/ marinade.
Ingredients
Besides your choice of fish, you’ll need cooking oil, 125 ml (1/2 c) brown sugar, 125 ml (1/2 c) coarse salt (non-iodized) and 5 ml (1 tsp) of onion powder, garlic powder and hot sauce. Plus 500 ml (2 c) soy sauce, one 750 ml (24 oz) bottle white win and 1 litre (32 oz) apple juice.
Preparation
Mix marinade/brine ingredients together in a non-metallic bowl. Then, place fish in brine making certain it is covered completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. Remove fish from brine and towel dry.
Smoking Method
Place fish on oiled racks in the Bradley Smoker. Using Cherry flavour bisquettes smoke at 50°C to 65°C (135°F to 150°F) for approximately 6 to 8 hours. On top of that, I suggest adding smoke for about 3 to 4 hours.
To Serve
Serve with crackers and cream cheese for an appetizer.
