Easy smoking!

Smoking is an old method to keep the fish fresh and to make a fine delicacy. A must for every professional angler who fishes at home and does not want to have fried fish on the menu. Mainly fat fish like eel, trout, mackerel and herring are smoked. Other fish like perches and codfish can also be smoked. These fish should be eaten freshly, because they do not have a high amount of fat and dry out easily.

It does not matter which smoking meal is used. We offer 4 different combinations: the popular house blend, pure beech meal, pure oak meal, pure alder meal. All are packed in 500g.

That´s the way it is done:

Firstly the fish must be cleaned and freed from blood and slime. It is better to remove the gills. For salting the fish I use a brine with 40 to 50gr salt per litre. It must be a good brine. At least 1 liter brine for 1 kilogram fish and the fish must always be covered with the brine. The fish should remain 7 to 12 hours in the brine depending on the size of the fish. Following salt for brine we´ve available: herbs of the Provence, juniper, puszta magic, scandic spice, seafood mackerel/herring, trout. Or for dry spicing our smoking spice salt.

Smoking with this table oven is practical and simple. You do not have to dry the fish and hang them up. But with this oven the fish dry best, when they are already dry. Salt the fish like described. In the beginning please fill some table spoons of smoking powder in each of the troughs on the smoker´s bottom. Following put the steel plate (legs down) over. Now you can place the fish on the gratings. Close the lid from the smoker and lock the side bails. Fill both of the burnpots with denatured alcohol, put them in the bottom part and light them. Put the smoker now on the bottom part. As soon as the burnpots have burned out the fish is ready. A real good alternative to a barbecue!

Smoking is no witchcraft and no science. Just try. If it does not work the first time, then the next time you will manage for sure.
