Tullibee question
« on: Jul 21, 2019, 10:09 AM »
I've got a few in the freezer from my LOTW trip back in early February, will they still be good for smoking or are they catfish bait?? I feel terrible I forgot about them .

I've successfully stored/hoarded some very fine cigars for years before smoking. Tell us Reinhart, when you smoke those tullibees, which end do you light?  :roflmao:

Seriously, only a few months in the freeze they should be just fine. Let us know how they turn out  ;)2

Love, love, love smoked fish!  No Cisco’s or tullibees here, but I’ve smoked just about every local fish that swims (except walleyes).  These were some stocker trout about mid-smoke.  Damn tasty.  Not worth a crap on a dinner plate, but smoked they’re some mighty fine snackin’, both straight and in dips.

Smoked bullheads... Not the dinks but the 2 pounders they grow on the Chip over by Hayward. Beats 'em all, at least in my book.
