Smokin'!!

I've recently got into smoking fish at home, with a biscuit tin hot smoker, and beech sawdust. Tonights is tuna.

 

 

 

I also tried trout and salmon steaks. If yo havent tried it then i would highly recommend it.

Get a slab of cedar or apple or simliar and cook straight on top of it. Mmmmmmmm

thats a great idea tommer......i love my fish and we alot of it in this house......so how does it work? just a tin with sawdust and stick it on the hob?

Pick a type of wood with a decent scent and cook through the wood. I.e cedar or apple.

Amazing.

Hadnt thought of that- I was under the impression that you shouldnt use softwoods or sycamore? I take it you have tried cedar?

Do you put the wood in a box then the fish on that or straight on the coals or what mate?

Get a biscuit tin, pierce the lid, and put a good handful of whatever wood you use, plus some herbs- fairly strong ones such as rosemary etc are fine- in the bottom of the tin. Put a wire rack about halfway up, put your fish on that skin side down as applicable, and for a couple of steaks like above, its about 10 minutes over the flame on the hob.

I've done chicken breasts but you need to play about with the timing to get them cooked through.
