Smoked Fish in the Pellet Smoker | Smoked Trout
Рет қаралды 32,826
Күн бұрынThis was truly a fun cook in the pellet smoker... even though all of the trout fell off their hooks. The trout was previously frozen and I didn't let them dry out long enough and I believe this is why they didn't hold onto the hooks.
Smoked Trout is excellent and trout comes from the salmon family but it does not taste like salmon. It is a very mild flavored fish with a natural sweetness that goes great with a hint of smoke flavor.

I appreciate the fact that you show your successes and failures. it gives us rookies hope that even if a cook doesn't go the way you expect... it can still turn out great.

Thank you. I figure that if I don’t show it, we won’t learn how to get better. Someone will come along in the comments and tell us what went wrong and then we can all move forward and have success. 😁 that’s what Weekend Warrior is all about 😎

When i was a kid, i would help my grandfather smoke whitefish in an outhouse converted to a smoke house. He would smoke 100 at a time. I would be in charge of the string and hanging them. We always hung a slip knot over the tail. Never lost a fish. Enjoy your videos!

Hey Mike - thanks so much for sharing your smoking talent - I’m new to smoking and enjoy watching you! Question: how do I know the level at which to put the cap on the chimney? Does it differ depending on what you’re grill or amount of smoke that stays in the smoker. Thanks in advance!
@WeekendWarriorBBQ 4 жыл бұрын
Thank you, Shalina. In the warm summer months I like to keep the cap almost all the way open... maybe 75% open. In the cold winter months I like to keep it about 50% open... maybe a little less. I use it to help regulate the temperatures. Turning it all the way down is not a good idea though... it messes with the airflow and the unit shuts down. Hope this helps and thank you very much for watching my videos 😁

Next time you smoke trout like that, you should use the Leinenkugels Traeger Brand pellets and the Leinenkugels Traeger seasoning. They have a citrus flavor and they’re amazing. It would be perfect with fish.

Fish looks amazing! Aren’t you worried about the bones being mixed into your dip? You mentioned you could still feel them when you were marinating. Also, how did you get your new smoker custom made like that? It’s awesome! Keep up the great content.
@WeekendWarriorBBQ 4 жыл бұрын
Thank you. Yes I was worried about it but I probably spent an hour carefully going through all pulling all of the bones out. For the smoker I just put a magnet on the bottom of the door that says Weekend Warrior. And for my logo, I had an automotive emblem manufacturer make me a logo that just sticks right on top of the pit boss logo

Hi, Jake. The smoker gets too hot for cheese. You can always use a pellet tube and not turn the smoker on though. I would open that top vent all the way to increase air flow

Don’t hang your fish. Lay it out on the grill. Always. Don’t coat until first half of smoke is over. You want fish to absorb all the smoke it can the first half hour.
@pete3839 2 жыл бұрын
Hanging the fish is about the best way to smoke salmon,trout,whitefish etc. Just best when cut into multiple steaks and strung with a needle. In this case 2 or possible 3 steaks a trout because they’re fairly smaller. Also even better to brine it before the coat before smoking.
@russwilkerson2741 2 жыл бұрын
@@pete3839 only brine if your fish is freshly caught. Definitely don’t on store bought. I found out the hard way. The most important smoke is the first hour. If you cover it first , smoke is not going to be able to infiltrate your fish. I only rely on the smoke for flavor. Apple. Oak. Cherry. Mesquite. What ever is your flavor. If ya want to change it up use orange tree or grapefruit or some citrus. I promise you won’t regret it. I have never hung fish but I’m not sayin that’s wrong at all. To each there own. Happy smokin Andrew 👍🇺🇸
