Smoking
Smoked King Salmon
Note: This is my own recipe, I feel the honey instead of brown sugar, along with my other ingredient adjustments makes a real difference! Joseph Biel, president of Pro Image Dist., Co.

Marinade:
2 cups white cooking wine
1 cup water
2 cups soy sauce
1 1/2 cups Worchestersire Sauce
1 cup barbicue suace (hot & spicy)
3/4 cup salt (kosher or pickling) not iodized
1/2 cup honey: heat honey in the white wine so it will dissolve
1/8 cup hot suace (tobassco)
1 tbs. garlic powder
Mix all ingredients making sure salt & honey dissolve
Cut salmon into desired size, noting they shrink in the smoking process. While cutting up salmon, trim all excess fat from the pieces, including the dark lateral line, this will give the fish a much cleaner taste.

Marinade fish overnight in a glass dish (never in metal pan), mixing occasionally so all pieces are covered evenly. In morning remove fish from marinade and allow to air dry until tacky. Again, never use any metal tray or dishes. Usually one hour is sufficient
Helpful Hint: If you marinade the fish in evenly devided sealed ziplock freezer bags with all the air removed from the bags; this will enhance the flavor as well as keep the ordor of the marinade in your refrigerator to a minimum!
Wood Flavorings: I use hickory and apple most of the time, but don't be afraid to experiment! Oak, pecan, alder,cherry, and mesquite are wonderful substitutes! Smoke until desired texture is achieved, turning once to keep both sides equally dry. This time will vary tremendously on the smoker you use. I use the Brinkman Electric/3hours. Smaller less efficient smokers could take up to 10 hours.

five star hotel in LiegeTIP: Soak wood chips in water or your favorite wine befor using. They will smoke longer enhancing the flavor of the fish!
Smoked Carp Ribs
"Not only do they taste good. The built-in tooth pick makes them easy to eat!"
1 whole drawn carp (12 lbs.) head removed
8 cups water
1/2 cup canning or pickling salt (never iodized salt)
1 small onion, thinly sliced
Servings: 4 to 6
FILLET the fish, removing skin is recommended but optional; cut the rib section away from the upper meaty portion which can be used for future use. Trim all belly meat away from the ribs and discard the belly meat.

In 5 qt. glass container, combine water and salt. Stir until salt is dissolved. Add ribs to brine. Cover and refrigerate 12 hours or overnight.

Drain and discard brine from ribs. Rinse with water. Pat dry with paper towels. Arrange ribs on cooling racks.

Spread onions slices evenly over each rib portion. Air dry for 1 hour or until ribs are shiny and dry.

Preheat your smoker for 20 minutes. Arrange ribs on rack sprayed with non-stick vegetable oil. Leave atleast a 1/2 inch space in between each rib for even drying & smoking consistency.

Smoke fish to desired texture and dryness. This will be according to the smoker's manufacture or personal taste. I personally like to dry oily fish beyond recommended time to give the fish an almost jerky texture. Experiment with different time intervals.

Helpful Hint: Soak your wood chips for an hour before putting them in your smoker, this will intensify the smoke and make the chips last longer! Hickory, Apple, Oak, Alder, & Mesquite are some of my favorite smoking flavors. Add a little white cooking wine to the water you are soaking your wood chips in for an interesting twist to your flavors!Remove ribs from smoker and allow to cool. Cut in between rib bones for serving size peices. Wrap losely and store in refrigerator no longer than two weeks.
Pickling
Tip For Using Any Uncooked Fish For Pickling: Fresh fish should be frozen for atleast 48 hours at zero degrees F. before pickling. This is in case the fish contains tapeworms. Although this is seldom a problem, an is usually related to fish from Canada. It is a good idea to take this precuation.
