Where to have Tullies smoked.

I’m here in the metro but would drive a bit, would probably only keep 10, I do not have a smoker but would bring you beer and fish if you want to do it, otherwise a butcher shop that does good work would be great too. Thanks

I’ve never smoked them but I looked on YouTube and it looks like you just cut the fish along the belly and split them open and brine them followed by smoking them for a few hours?

I’m a non-smoker but thanks.

Guess I won’t help then

Gino has smoked them before as he posted them in the recipe thread under the smoked title. I noticed he filleted them in half.

IF I ever get a chance to fish them I’m going to try smoking them. How hard can it be. Mine will be gutted head wacked off.

Sorry Tim, not sure where you could bring them!

Old timers (Grandpa) gut & gilled, threw a handfull of salt into the body cavity, and then laid them on their side in a wooden barrel half for a day or two.
The head was left on because that is what was impaled on the nail in the smoker.

Just did a batch today! Very tasty!

I’ll do them both ways , fillets or chunks, both tasty.

Metro? I have had Osseo Meats smoke a number of fish for me and they turned out excellent. I have never had Tullibees smoked but they did many a whitefish I brought back from Canada. Call them and ask.

Drop them off in north branch and I’ll do it. I’ll charge 1 fish per 10. That seems fair

Thanks, pressure will be on to get 11!

I believe Grundhofer’s Old Fashion Meats still does them in Hugo. Give them a buzz.

Just to be sure they are safe to eat, I think wherever you get them done you should bring a few to me to sample. You want to be safe you know !!!!
There was a time that Morey’s in Motely use to smoke them for people. I’m not sure if they still do or not. As a kid we use to bring them a ton of them to smoke for us. They use to charge us almost nothing to do them since we were just kids.
