Anyone got any good recipes for smoking steelhead or trout. I think i like the sweeter tasting recipes.

I smoked some carp with some friends several years back and it turned out great, so i would imagine trout would be awesome. But, i dont have the recipe and it would take a while to get it.

cedar boards. look it up on field and stream's website. i have it in one of their issues, but wouldnt be able to find it. i like to put them on the grill and wrap them in aluminum foil and SMOTHER them in butter with lemon, with some lemon pepper seasoning slow-cooked........omg!!

Smoking fish?I could never keep the little fins from busting through the papers.J/K I couldn't help myself.Don't know the recipe but some friends did the Herring plankings in Emporia Va. I will try to get the info.

Yep. Thats all I smoke is Trout and Salmon. First off start out with fillets not whole fish. The brine. 1 gallon apple Juice 1 cup Morton salt 1 cup brown sugar. Soak fish at least 24 hr. If thick fillets make it longer. Get smoker fired to 175-200 deg smoke with apple wood. Throw fish in smoker. Now prepare a glaze. I use about a cup of apple juice 2 tbls of honey and 2 tbls of brown sugar. Cook untill it carmalizes. After smoking about a hour baste fish. Repeat before you remove from smoker. It is the best smoked fish you will eat! This recipe cost me a box of J-Plugs 10 yr ago if you want my addy i will send it to ya

when rolling your fish, do you prefer 124's or rollies papers?

This is the method and recipe I've used for some time now. Works well on Salmon, trout, as well as many other species including Mullet and mackerel.
This comes from my homestate of Alaska, The University in Fairbanks posted this.....

here's a link to the plans I used to build my smokehouse. I used cedar tongueand groove siding, purchased at Lowes. The racks are expanded stainless. Kind of pricey, but if you use galvanized, be ready to be very sick.[:'(]
My total cost was right around $200. Well worth it. Works like a dream.

Smoked Whitefish is great.
Just use dry maple or ash.

How long does it take to smoke normal sized trout fillets?
Thanks,
