Smoked Trout

[IDbasser]

try pecan wood chips

I started using pecan, and I like it better than the alder.

I did 10 last week and they turned out great! I like to use a combination of fruit woods such as pear,peach,Apple and plum. Let the dried chips soak in water for about a hour or so, but wait about a half an hour to put them on the burning charcoal coals though. I use 7 up or Dew in the water pan instead of water though.

Has anyone ever used a traeger to smoke trout or other fish?

I finally got my smoked trout recipe recorded (with pics) over in the Idaho Recipe section:

Doing a load of pike and lake trout for Christmas.  Basic recipe from the chief smoker, about three hrs at 140-160. Brine overnight. Op's are very right on serving cold. Smoker is in an insulated box with adjustable vent and hose routed outside the heated garage.

Tony Chachere's Cajun seasoning and alder wood . Sprinkle it on and smoke to your liking .

I smoke up some fresh caught bookies before Christmas. Then I flake the fish off the bones,add sour cream,softened cream cheese, real mayo,garlic powder,horseradish,a few dashes of hot sauce. It made a wonderful trout dip. I'll only eat smoked trout or  steelhead. Can do them fresh.
