Smoked small trout
-
My kids caught a bunch of trout in the 12" range. They want them smoked. Do any of you have a good recipe for smoked trout?

Idaho Smokey Great Idea. I would say low & slow with Alder or something very mild, like salmon, but I have personally never done it with small freshwater trout. Those were always best for breakfast when I was a kid & we would go up into the then pristine mountains & fish out of the streams & lakes. Back then we did not even have to carry water with us, just a tin cup. Best of wishes on this & it sounds like it could be really good.

Thanks Dave. The recipe I had years ago used salt, brown sugar, and some other spices. I really liked it. I had it saved on my computer but have changed computers a number of times since then and it didn’t get transferred over during one of the changes.

calldoctoday We must be close to the same age. I never worried about going belly down on the creek bank to get a good long drink of cool water.

Idaho Smokey I have a thread on cold smoked salmon with some decent lessons learned…I cold smoked it 8 hr or something. WAAAAAYYYY too much! Doing it again, or the trout you have, I would just do a light 30min to 1 hr smoke max. And I referenced Marianski a lot and used his salmon brine.
