thanks for the video. My grandpha (italian) smoked prosciutto and fish in a 2x2 hut. In Argentina, where i live they used to make the peruvian method (using a 200 lts metal oil barrel whitout the up and bottom cover like a chimmey and the fish/meat hooked with ¨s¨ shape hooks). Cheers from Argentina!!
a friend of mine smokes fish and is really good at it. when he first started he had trouble with over smoking. so he researched and found that mangrove was the best to use but we don't have any here in north Florida, with further research he found that our native swamp titi was in the mangrove family. according to my friend he never has to worry about over smoking any more. smoked Amber Jack and blue runners are much better than jack craval. Logger John.
I'm up in Michigan , we've smoked walleye, other than mentioned salmon and trout. But I usually soak my wo o d chips in bourbon or use apple juice in the water pan,, depending on what I'm cooking. For ribs just wrap the soaked chips in alunimum foil and poke some holes in it
Hey my friend, I’ve tried the Dorado which lives in the Cabo’s coast down in northern west Mexico and is amazing for smoking. Truly recommendable. All da best and congrats for your job.
Snapper and Tuna is also really good. Applewood? Thanks for the tip gotta try that here in Philippines. GREAT VIDEO and thanks for the rub tip. AWSOME gonna try that here.
Whiting - smoke it then pick it and mix the pickings with spices and mayo (sea twang from Mrs Peters in Rio FL - near Jensen Beach, FL). Blue Marlin used to be awesome - but cannot catch/keep anymore. Mako (or any) shark is good smoked too. Tuna and/or bonito are awesome smoked.
I did whole mangrove snappers today, about 14” not butterflied, and they were amazing. I also did a snook fillet on the half shell and that was amazing as well. I used apple pellets for mangrove and mesquite on my offset smoker for the snook
My favourites, in no particular order, Great Lakes eel, St. Lawrence sturgeon, North Atlantic herring, and Northern pike. I didn't put salmon in the list because it's its own food group. Lord how I love smoked fish. Awesome video.
Well, here in tropical Florida, I don't have access to all of those. We do have fish eels and they are awesome. Thanks for watching and this method works on any kind of fish.
Good stuff mate. Another good seasoning you could try is brown sugar with salt and pepper, another good one is sweet chilli sauce. Really nice you should try it
My son and I have been smoking swai and pollock. We buy frozen fillets, thaw them out, season with a rub, and smoke for a couple of hours at around 250 degrees. So far we've used it to make a cream cheese based fish spread that's great. I've had fish spread made from mullet and other oily fishes but prefer a milder white fish.
we use woodchips and or sawdust for smoking ,this go's in a tray that is placed over burning charcoal so it gets heated up to it starts to smoke ,if it starts to burn it gets emidiatly sprayed so the flames can not reach what ever is smoking ,also the meat or fish is hanged in the smoker so the exces fat can drip of
Buffalo fish and bullheads are pretty nice smoked too. 4am wishing i had some smoked fish right now. In minnesota we get a lot of salmon and trout but herring is really nice smoked too.
Hi there I'm just across water from U I fink there R the famous n most delish Manx kipper outstanding! PS ima bout to make a go trying my hand on smoking fish. Something I wanted to do for long time, I was wondering if ya got any tips for how long n if hot or cold cheers .....
I just browsed real quick and immediately got Seminole swamp seasoning up on Amazon Prime immediately; just FYI/ don't know if you were still having a problem or not.
Freshwater fish for smoking as Common Carp 2 to 6 lb fish are best, Water sheephead is a whitemeat fish, from lakes. also good smoked, Sheephead can also be pan fried, but remove the meat from skin side first, leaving only the white flesh.
Love smoked Speckled Trout, Reds, Flounder, Pompano, triggerfish, grouper, all snappers, blackfin shark, stingrays wings (skin them first, also sharks).
Curious about large/small mouth bass. And blue Gill on the smoke. I normally head em and grill them whole. Never smoked a bass or a blue Gill tho. I do smoke the crap out of trout as I'm land locked in AZ.
I have a dedicated barrel smoker for fish only. With 8 makeshift hooks hanging on the grill grate. Hell, got it on clearance at Walmart for 20 bucks 2 years ago haha. I head the fish and hook and hang them threw the tail bone area above the water pan. Makes some awsome smoked trout. All I've tryed tho.
Pompano is one of my favorite saltwater fish. We are planning a surf fishing trip this weekend, weather permitting. I have never even considered smoking it, since it is so good grilled, baked or fried. They should be in our area here in CF now. If you have any reports, please hit us up.
i usually chunk mine but you could butterfly them. try making a fish dip with the smoked pomp,to die for!! you need to pull the meat from the bones and skin before it cools or it is really hard to do. Love your vids!!
Use this recipe. You can hang them if you leave the skin and scales on like we did here. It's pretty basic and you can do a lot of different ways depending on what kind of climate you have.
Just subbed your channel. At what temp do you run your smoker for fish? I watched others on You Tube go anywhere from 165 to 200 degrees. What do you prefer? Great video..thank you for the info.
It depends on weather your going for fresh smoked (each today or soon) or long term storage. Longer your going to store it, the lower and slower you smoke it.
Never tried redfish, but I might try it if I can catch one. Our water has been so bad from algae blooms, it's been difficult. Oily fish generally work best for smoking.
Ok, I'm headed to the Outer banks NC in November and have had good luck catching the red drum so I'll try and get back with you and tell you how it turned out
Here in St. Pete we smoke the living shit outta pinfish ... its got a very strong fish taste ... perfect without salt curing and smoked using all oak chunks and saw dust.. no coal over here.. good stuff

We don't have a lot of carp down here and no one fishes for them. Use our recipe and do one. A buffalo carp would probably be good if I wanted to pick bones for the next 6 months ( was my grandma's favorite fish) Let us know how it turns out.
We have sturgeon in FL Gulf but they are protected. American shad spawn here in our area in the St Johns River. I have yet to catch one, but if I do, I will try it.
Backwoods Gourmet Channel please do smoked smoked catfish.it is something I love and on another topic what is the best way to cure bacon and beef .I really want to try it myself.keep making awesome videos.you have awesome content :)
If you want better tasting fish? When you catch them gut them and salt and put on ice in your cooler right then. Don't let rig set in on your freshly caught fish and you will see the difference in taste. Enjoy. :)
Whiting are one of my favorite to smoke here in Jax. Fl. Very abundant easy to load up the cooler and fun cheers from Jacksonville Florida

Eels are delicious...most fish is delicious..and anyone that can get it fresh is very lucky!

sea trout and flounder are awesome smoked
Any tips about smoking freshwater fish like Crappie, Walleye, Perch or White Bass? Catfish?

Larry Chapman stop eating Swai. Please! I'm saying this for you, not the fish.

I lived in Christmas Florida and I too spent a lot of time fishing and frogging and playing in an airboat on the Saint Johns River.
Buffalo fish and bullheads are pretty nice smoked too. 4am wishing i had some smoked fish right now. In minnesota we get a lot of salmon and trout but herring is really nice smoked too.
Buffalo carp was my grandmothers favorite fish. All I remember about them is that they had a lot of bones.
ye the bones are massive though so it isnt annoying.
Solid video. Thanks!
Herring fish is the number one fish we smoke in the isle of man. .after coming out of the smoke house it's called a kipper..
Hi there I'm just across water from U I fink there R the famous n most delish Manx kipper outstanding!
PS ima bout to make a go trying my hand on smoking fish. Something I wanted to do for long time, I was wondering if ya got any tips for how long n if hot or cold cheers .....
I love smoked mullet. I have eaten smoked Barracuda. It was pretty good.
If anyone knows where you can find Seminole Swamp seasoning, please respond. It is MIA these days.
seminoleswampseasoning.com/products
If you're interested in buying it online. Great job with your videos, keep it up!
Thank you sooooooo much. I have been googling these guys forever and this just doesn't come up.
Whiting is really good smoked
Cool video , striped bass is awesome smoked
We have those here in the spring.
How do you leave out catfish? Smoked catfish is awesome.
I just browsed real quick and immediately got Seminole swamp seasoning up on Amazon Prime immediately; just FYI/ don't know if you were still having a problem or not.
Thank you. Another viewer sent me the link some time back. I posted it in the description box. Thanks for watching.
Where can you get the smoker to buy can you make a video of how to set up the fire, and can any wood work?
Freshwater fish for smoking as Common Carp 2 to 6 lb fish are best, Water sheephead is a whitemeat fish, from lakes. also good smoked, Sheephead can also be pan fried, but remove the meat from skin side first, leaving only the white flesh.
I would love to try those!
In my country we corned or salt for home use but I like the smoked one also
Thats a good sharp knife. I like it.
Love smoked Speckled Trout, Reds, Flounder, Pompano, triggerfish, grouper, all snappers, blackfin shark, stingrays wings (skin them first, also sharks).
Smoked fish is the best.
Yumee, I just love dried fish biscuits.
Catfish, brim,and drum are good smoked.
Texas Fav Smoked Blue Cat
Smoked Eels are eaten a lot here in New Zealand!
lol, we wanted it dry--that's what I would say also.
Good recipe--thanks!
R Yeckley n.
You did a great job. What was the temperature range of the smoker? I don’t know what temperature range to look for.
your name suggests most girls are not peaceful lol
Any oily fish is the best fish to smoke. Here in New Zealand we smoke a lot of kahawai and mullet and it’s sweeeeeeeeeeeet az! L0L
We have prolific mullet here almost all year and they are one of my favorite off the smoker.
Backwoods Gourmet Channel Right on buddy 😎👍
Never done this or eat this we eat salted fish.. How long can we store this.
Can we vaccum pack this and store for long..
Curious about large/small mouth bass. And blue Gill on the smoke. I normally head em and grill them whole. Never smoked a bass or a blue Gill tho. I do smoke the crap out of trout as I'm land locked in AZ.

bluegill with mesquite, and a touch of sweet bbq sauce, you will not have a pond anywhere near with any keepers afterward.
Do you have a video on making this smoker?
It's one of our top videos. th-cam.com/video/202ovS86P2c/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for getting back.
smoked menominee from the great lakes is the best I have ever had
I like Everglade Seasoning. Have you ever used that?
Very informative, thank you for sharing.
You want dry fish, you got it pal.😂😂🐠
Great video - what temp do you smoke at?
How long do you keep trout on a smoker you never mention that
Best technique!
THANKS I DID THIS AND LOVED IT

Love your vids!!
Thanks,we may try that if we get more than a few.

Redfish are great smoked
Hi, what kind of wood you used in the smoker? Thanks for sharing!
You can use any kind of hardwood. The best are apple, hickory, oak and pecan. I think I used apple on this cook.
Thanks!
Try smoking redfish...makes a great fish dip
Thanks for sharing Sir👍
Redfish ... they are good smoked for a fish dip
i thought you were gonna brine them but you only dry cured?
Red Drum on the half shell?
i am going to do smoked fish for the very first time any tips as i am a beginner
Use this recipe. You can hang them if you leave the skin and scales on like we did here. It's pretty basic and you can do a lot of different ways depending on what kind of climate you have.
Smoking carp. It’s really good.

Thanks
Kelly Young recently did a video where she cooked and ate~~~BONITA!!! Auggg!
I cooked some once and my cats wouldn't even look at it!
We have a video on Bonita also. Check out the channel page.
I hate bluefish. Until I smoked it. Wow. Totally different fish.
You dont use any garlic or dill? Just rubs?
Use your favorite seasoning.
Great video 👍
Nice.... I also have alternative on my channel. Good job here
Son, are you from the Ville? You grew up on the St Johns in north Fl?
Yep, near the Green Cove Springs.
Just subbed your channel. At what temp do you run your smoker for fish? I watched others on You Tube go anywhere from 165 to 200 degrees. What do you prefer? Great video..thank you for the info.

Awesome "chowdah" fish too.

what is Jaminol
how about Red drum and specks can you smoke them

Backwoods Gourmet
I know oily fish work great, I do salmon & freshwater trout & bluefish all the time but would like and try something different
Yep, excellent recipe
amberjack is awesome
Here in St. Pete we smoke the living shit outta pinfish ... its got a very strong fish taste ... perfect without salt curing and smoked using all oak chunks and saw dust.. no coal over here.. good stuff
I love Pinfish just fried up. Never tried them smoked but maybe we will give it a try.
yeh they make for a good base in a lot of foods.. I usually dont bother curing them due to their size and "salty" flavor...
subbed!
Never understood why people eat fish then complain about it being fishy. Do you eat chicken & say wow thats a strong chickeny taste 🙄
Yum, fish jerky. I grew up eating smoked mullet and I like it better than smoked salmon. Any oily fish is awesome smoked. Thanks for the video.
We like smoked white fish and catfish around here!
jeremiah castle I
My grandfather us to smoke us Kobia in south floroda.
Florida bream.can u smoke it?
It really does not have enough oil in the flesh. It would be much better, fried.
Beautiful
You may as well dip frying and will be the same in 10 min
