 Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2011 5:37 pm Post subject: Smoking King Mackerel and Spanish Mackerel |
 |
|
We balled out a king I caught on Friday and then smoked the fillets of some spanish mackerel we also caught.
I used the Uncle Si formula brine on the tips and recipes page. 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup pickling salt to one quart water. I also added a couple of tablespoons of pickling spice. On mackerel, they only need to soak in the brine for 30 minutes. Rinse the meat off and let stand in a fan or near an ac vent for about an hour then put on the smoker. I did these for about 6.5 hours.

Did you have to fire up or plug in the smoker, or did our Texas high pressure heat dome do the trick.

No but it was close to 100 before I plugged in the electric burner.
