Smoked Rainbow Trout

Well got around to smoking them trout we caught 3 days ago, used alder chips for the smoking. 7 hours smoke time and 2 days soaking the fish in a special brine.



Brine Recipe

2 bottles of Henry Weinhards orange cream soda
2 cups of water
2 pounds of brown sugar
2 cups of sea salt
2 table spoons black pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic salt

and
the whole business needed some MSG so I added some Johnnys seasoning salt, some what for coloring. even though, the fish had excellent color to begin with.



It all turned out good and have been sampling pieces here and there, a few chunks need to smoke a bit longer, due to larger chunks and cold spots inside the smoker, all in all, great eats.




From this to this...... Mmmmmm. Yum!
