8 years later, people still appreciating your video. Any by people, I mean me! Thanks so much for posting. Followed it almost to a T. Now I'm not sure if I had much less salmon than you. 3 Pinks and 1.5 sockeye. I still have almost 1.5L of brine left but everything is absolutely soaking in it. Made me happy to have some for another batch. QUESTION: The cheap bugger in me would like to use the brine again after the first batch is done curing. Am I crazy, or could I put it to use again? Thanks my friend.

I believe it. Doing it a different method as we speak, cold smoking it. Left the salmon out for 2 hours before smoke just to let the brine drip off and a nice coating form before it hit the smoker.

I live in Wa state on Canadian border. The Salmon run is great here. I've been doing this smoke for many years. I never use the brine more than once I soak in a bucket in a fridge for 3 days I hang dry for a few hours and basically a cold smoke for about 9 hours or more depending on the outside temp I seal bags and freeze them and take it snowmobiling during the winter. It's a basic brine for Indian candy and ain't cheap but is well worth it. Thanks for the sharing HOT FISH. HOT FISH. COMING UP

This is how us guides do it. I like to add a bit of garlic, ginger, orange zest, and a bit of soy sauce to the regular 1/3 salt 2/3 demerara brine, then in the fridge 24hrs. Rinse in cold water pat it dry with paper towel and stack it on the smoker rack, put it out side in the sun for bout 30 mins while I prep n heat the smoker. Smoke time varys, I hot smoke with an insulated little chief (it must be 40 years old by now) and GREEN alder chips BARK ON. Smoke till hard outside n soft inside.

For an easy twist throw a tin foil packet of green alder chips with the bark still on in the BBQ when you cook fish that way. I do this with fresh fish for clients on kayak trips the green alder is the traditional first nations wood for smoking...this is what gives B.C. salmon it`s B.C. taste. The difference between fresh green alder with bark on and old dry chips is huge....fresh it`s salty, swet and mmmmmmm, dry chips with no bark is just smoky.

Hey BCFishingguide, what time of the year did you make this? You say you dried it for 24-36 hours. I just made a batch and it's high summer. Wondering if I have to dry them for that long or can say 6-8 hours do the job. I suppose I can look for colour.

AMAZING! I USED 7 LBS OF SOCKEYE, I THINK IT WAS WAY TOO MUCH BRINE FOR THAT AMOUNT OF FISH. I WOULD AT LEAST CUT THE BRINE RECIPE IN HALF FOR 7 LBS OF SOCKEYE... IM JUST GOING TO BUY MORE FISH NEXT TIME, WHEN IT GOES ON SALE...

DId you leave the salmon out for 24 hours to dry naturally? Or did you put them in a dryer/smoker without chips for the first 24 hours to get it see-through, and then add the smoking chips for the last 7? Thanks

@MexiCanuck1 14 жыл бұрын

I started this recipe yesterday. I have a suggestion for others. Heat the water first to dissolve the salt and demerera. Mine didn't dissolve and I had undissolved solids at the bottom of the bucket. Mine has been in brine for close to 24 hours with little moisture out of the fish. I wonder if more salt would be better. The oral recipe refers to using one litre of pure maple syrup. It looks like you used 500 ml of maple syrup and 500 ml of Rogers Golden Syrup.

I also have some questions.. Mid way into the brining process - The brine cost almost 50$ on the dot (and I already had the salt)... Looks awesome, but I am weary of the air-drying. Never heard of a cure like that before, but your end result looks good. Does it freeze well? I was hoping to vacuum seal a bunch as I am doing 10lbs of salmon. I did so much fish i used 1 gallon rather than a 1/2 gallon water - hope it works alright.

@jeffaxel181 7 жыл бұрын

Honestly all you need is a closed plywood box outdoors that you can make yourself from hardware store plywood to make a cold smoker. However, this really should only be done in late fall, winter, or spring as outdoor temps need to be 60 or so degrees or below. Otherwise the bacterial risk goes up. Look up the Amaz-N Smoker tube or similar product. YOu just put that in the box below and away from the food, light it, and let the cold smoke impart flavors to the meat. You only need to smoke it a few hours. So this probably won't work if you live in an apartment. However, if you simply can't cold smoke it for real, get liquid smoke. They make that stuff by just collecting liquid drippings from the chimneys where they intentionally burn wood to collect the soot. So basically liquid smoke is food grade soot and will make your food pretty good.

I[m a bit new to all this so I've a couple of questions. My smoker runs a bit hot in summer - around 200 - and I'm worried about drying out the fish too much by smoking it too long. In your experience is there much difference in taste by cutting the smoke time down to 2 or 3 hrs? thanks

This guy makes enough brine to cure a baby humpback 🐋! Yes I could simply cut the brine recipe in half but instead I’m going to add the brine to the salmon instead of adding the salmon to the entire batch of brine. This way I can use a much smaller amount of salmon (for example a 3 pound fillet) and not contaminate the entire bucket of brine. There is no need for that large amount of brine for a small amount of salmon. This expensive brine should last a few months in the fridge if you don’t contaminate it with raw salmon or raw anything. Heck you could brine some pork belly in this guys junkie juice and it would be 🔥. A smelly old shoe would taste like a brand new Air Jordan after brining in this.

I would like to mention that I have a little chief... leaving it out for 24hrs and not reaching the temperature needed to kill bacteria in your smoker can be dangerous. After I am done I am going to throw it in the oven at 250 degrees for 1/2 hour just to be sure
