I’ve got a bunch of big fillets brining right now after a slaughter up in Ely this weekend. Looking to smoke them tomorrow. Normally I rub them down with brown sugar right before entering the oven pre-smoke. Was thinking about a touch of ground clove as well. Anyone ever done this? Sounds good eh?!
If you put some in front of me, I’d try it. I would never smoke a lean flaky fish though.
Oil from fat is the only thing that can keep it moist.
I’ve done it many times before, and its fantastic! Gotta give it a shot sometime. I serve it cold.
Clearly not a waste to him if he enjoys them!
Sounds great, don’t listen to the “haters”.
Smoking adds some flavor just like a good fish coating when frying to an otherwise tasteless fish.
I find smoked walleye dissipates over a longer period time, improving its effectiveness as a fertilizer. Don’t smoke the cheeks though. The raccoons prefer those raw and should be placed well away from your garden.
Yes, smoked walleye is very good. Don’t know about the cloves, but a y spice that you like or want to try will be just fine. My brother in law thought I was nuts smoking walleye, until he tried them. I don’t do it often, but it is a change from the basics of cooking walleye
Sometimes when I play Walleyeball (Similar to baseball, except walleye is substituted for the ball), when I really get a hold of one the people say, “He smoked it”.
