Smoked Perch, try it?

I am going to smoke some perch for the first time. Has anyone done this? I plan to soak them in brine first.I do not fillet them, but use the other method of cleaning that just removes the skin and head. Think this will work?

Watch your brine solution. The first time I tried smoking fish I left it way too long. The smoke taste was great, but it was so salty you couldn't stand it.

I cut my salt in half and found it worked great. Try it you might like it. You can pull the skin after smoking comes off real easy plus keeps the fish more moist.

Perch came out awesome
Though, the smaller ones shrank down to practically nothing picking away the meat with a fork worked great and the taste was excellent. Northern are next on my list.b

5hrs of brineing is too long you do not have to do it this long read the chart I posted for brineing fish in the smokeing northern and you will get a great result each Perch is 1lb or under and it doesnt matter if you have 100 of them the brine time is still the same about 1 to 1 1/2 hr. Cutting down on the amount of salt could cause the fish to turn on you The salt is used to draw out the moisture from the flesh. Just give the meat a good rinse when you get done soaking the fish and it will eleminate the salt taste. Also leave the skin on next time it will be even better tasteing just use a vinigar water solution to get the fish slime off.
