Ingredients

Cut filleted fish into serving size pieces.

In a large bowl mix the following:

1 quart water

1 cup bourbon

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup canning salt

A number of turns on the pepper grinder of fresh ground black pepper

(This batch will cure about 3 silvers.)

Directions

Marinate the fish for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight in refrigerator.

Give the pieces a quick rinse, place on drying racks and grind fresh ground pepper over pieces then air dry for about an hour until tacky.

Smoke fish for 6 to 12 hours depending on atmospheric conditions (wind, humidity & temp.) and depending on how dry you like your smoked fish. I prefer a somewhat "juicier" smoke, so 6 to 8 hours usually does it.

Separating each rack of fish with a rack covered with aluminum foil helps keep the drippings from above landing on the fish below. I am kind of partial to using apple chips as a smoking material, but experimenting with different woods might give a taste that is preferable to others.
