Title: Swimming one day and dinner the next
Post by: SuperDave on March 01, 2015, 10:16:56 AM
Friday was the first time in a long time that I had a chance to get out on the water.  It was a great day of conversation with a buddy and frequent interruption by a bouncing rod.  Most were in the 15" range but did manage this one, 4.5 lbs brute.

It immediately went into a soy sauce and brown sugar brine upon returning home.  Yesterday, it went into the smoker with some apple & cherry wood.  Smoked for a little over an hour and then glazed with a brown sugar and maple syrup paste.  Put back in the box for another 15 minutes to set the glaze.

Man Dave that's one beautiful fish! Nicely done on the smoke too. I'm pretty sure it tasted as good as it looks!  :)

Looks really tasty. Fishing part sounds good too. I'm going out later today but I'll be sitting in an ice hut rather than a boat on water.

The first time I smoked fish, salmon, my wife and I agreed it was the best we ever had. The taste and texture were incredible. SI does a great job.
