Smoked Fish Trifecta!

Getting the holiday gift baskets prepped. Smokin Salmon, rockfish, and tuna bellies.

Will take the rockfish to a jerky texture.

Separate containers for each while brining. 4-1 sugar to salt dry rub. Will brine for 8 hours, then rinse and air dry till pellicle forms. Season then smoke.

Got everything drying. It's cold and windy enough out that I can do this in my smoker. So that's where the tuna bellies are. The salmon and rockfish are in my also cold garage with artificial wind.

Should be able to start the smoke in a hour or so. Pellicle is just about there.

Into the fire and the smoke!
