Brine for total of 4 hours turning every hour to soak up the brine evenly. (try not to soak much longer than 4 hours or the finished product will become too salty)

Rinse under fresh water and lay flat to dry. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moister. Allow fish to set up and become tacky before moving to the smoker.

Desired Smoke temp 110 -120 degrees. 8-10 hours.

Check on the fish as you go and taste it once it starts getting close. Smaller batches may cook faster as well as different smokers and humidity in the air may affect it.
Fish should be firm but not dried out.

Let fish rest once it is done this will let it finish setting up.

Store in sealed container in fridge for 1-2 weeks. Freeze if wanting longer storage. As long as vacuum sealed it will last for 2 years easily in the freezer. If storing in sealed container on the counter should be eaten within 1-2 days (not recommended as it will most likely spoil)

Finished product will yield about half the weight of what you started with.

How can you tell if the product has spoiled in your fridge or on your counter it will develop white mold that is noticeable similar to spoiled cheese and other things that go bad.

►Now lets break the recipe down for smaller portions

(4.5 cups)
.5 lbs Salt
(3/4 cup salt)
