Yeah smoking is awesome. Have been trying on a quite a few fish down here, oz salmon come up really good and so do sweep. Morwongs (red mowie and magpie perch) have come up really well but are easy to dry out. A few other fish didn't come out quite so well. Brown sugar and salt for 30 minutes or so, wipe then smoke. Can't find any manuka sawdust for the traditional kiwi smoked kahawai (oz salmon), but a 1:1 mix of iron bark and hickory seems to come pretty close.

I smoked some blue troat wrasse last weekend and it turned out really well, the flesh was just right for it. I tried it on a few salmon aswel but they were a bit dry. Definetly worth the effort. You will pick up a smoker in Anaconda for $50, the packets of sawdust are $5 each.

I ran out of methylated spirits for lighting my fish smoker so I had to improvise. It worked really well so I thought I'd share it.

Instead of putting the tin of spirits under the box, put the box on top of a gas grill bbq.

1 cup of original soy sauce.
2 desert spoons of honey (i microwave it to sofen it about 30 seconds)
2 teaspoons of minced Garlic
1 teaspoon of chilli (I used chilli flakes dry but fresh chopped will work.)

Combine all ingredients
Cut fillets into pieces ( I cut fillets into 2 halfs down the center using spinal colum for a guild.)
Place fish into marrinade for 10-20 minuts.
Place into Smoker i use Wine wood or Hickory. But peach an apple will do.
About 20 minuts in the smoker will do the job keeping in mind i use a hot smoker.
Serve hot or cold cryo vac to keep fresh in fridge freezer if you want to keep it for later.
