Smoked Bluefish

I've got a few recipes but only tried and stuck to this one.

 

Smoked Bluefish

 

I added 1/2 cup of kosher salt plus a few tablespoons of soy to 1.5 gal of water. Also added were 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup molasses, and some honey. I added a few tablespoons of crushed peppercorns as well.

Let them sit overnight, then rinsed , air dried them until they got that sticky glaze.

Got a good hickory smoke going in the smoker, with a temp which ranged from 175*-200*. Before I put them in the smoker, skin side down, I brushed them with maple syrup, (optional coat them fresh crushed peppercorns.)

4 hours in the smoke, let cool for several hours, and into the frig. Believe it or not the dark red meat is addicting.

Sounds good. Letting a pellicle form (drying it) is a must to have the smoke adhere. I personally like using alder wood for smoking bluefish, hickory is a little too strong for me. Blue fish dip is awesome!

Smoking them is my favorite way to have bluefish.  Love making dip out of it.

I was never a fan of bluefish until a buddy of mine introduced me to smoke bluefish cream cheese and crackers. It's one of my favorite smoked fish now.
