Smoking mackerel is not easy! They are hard to get lit and even harder to get a draw through. Bless you and Inglorious, advice you gave served me so well. Celebrating cos I got monetizesd today. My thanks for your words of wisdom!
Try getting the fish much higher so it smokes it till it dries in Africa they smoke them for hours till it is dry and last for weeks and the meat still stays fresh Try with different wood like oak and different types of trees mate u will love it
Humidity has alot to do with it aswell, less humid the meat will dry out faster. Cold smoking can be great too for just imparting some nice flavour if you are in a colder or more humid climate
Loving your channel! For this episode, especially...suggest you build drying box, made from wood & window screening, roughly 3ft square. Build it big enough to hold, at least, 3 levels. For the fish, after cleaning...soak in heavily salted water, similar to pasta water...45mins., minimum. Butterfly fish then lay down, skin-side Up & let dry box sit out in the sun 7-10 days. Here in Hawaii, Long, sunny days of summer are No problem, but in greenhouse/hothouse will work just fine also. Finished dried fish should look/feel like beef Jerry. Play around w/spice mix & see how it turns out!...Keep these Smash Fishing videos coming, baby!...A-L-O-H-A from Hawaii
Right, that's it! I'm on the 'net right now looking for a smoker. I absolutely love Mackerel it's my favorite eating fish but I have never smoked them at home so cheers guys, a new flavor coming up.
I always "butterfly" the fish and lay them skin side down. Also use fewer coals with your ships. I use split cherry and bay wood. Green if I have it. My smoker has a fire box separate from the grill drum. So I do not generally use soaked wood. Smoked fish is the bomb. looks like you actually "grilled" them. Proper smoking is a very slow process and it actually preserves the fish by drying it some. Still very good.
As a South African… and we are the Kings of Braaing. Put your firelighters underneath your charcoal… just enough of both to get things going… then add the rest of your charcoal or wood 😊
I used a fish smoker that used methelated spirits in 2 burners with dry wood dust instead of chips. First time for me and the fresh fish we caught tasted amazing. I don't think I will cook fish any other way again. Awesome video by the way and those mackerel looked 1st class.
Use a little oil on your grill grates - that should keep the fish from sticking as much. Or oil down the fish with some olive oil. But either way - it looks super yummy! Thanks for sharing! Be blessed and when can we see that beautiful baby boy again?? =)
My grandad (fisherman from Grimsby) called them the “Sh!teaters of the sea!” 😂 said you always found them near the sewerage pipes having a munch on what came out 💩🤢 never stopped Me eating mackerel but he wudnt touch them 😂 lol
u should get a different smoker where u dont have to put the fire so close.. also chunks of wood are better.. i smoke eels every year, u brine them, then hang to dry then smoke at 55-65 celcius for 1.5-2 hours... mackerel is about the same.. maybe bit hotter otherwize it could take too long. u could also build one out of wood or sheet metal (stainless pref) could be a video idea. I bought myself a second hand stainless smoker.. still looks new after 30 years.
Was thinking the same mate ,anyone can smash out mackerel by the hundreds , be much more impressed with em taking 40 or 50 max , so that future generations can enjoy em
them taking a few hundred once or twice a year is nothing when commercial companies catch tens of millions each year, get off your high horse and stop virtue signaling
Next time butterfly filet, marinate in soy then let dry out in the fridge uncovered to develop a pedicle. Makes a huge difference and you can smoke any fish. Pollock is great. Tight Lines
every time i see someone catching mackeral my mouth waters, they are the best fish to eat, only when they are gutted straight after catching, fresher the better
Great job lads, the village will be happy haha. Got about 70 mackies on my last trip and a little gurnard, first time catching one aswell! Love your vids bro, slainte from across the pond in dublin 🎣🎣
Yeah I wouldn’t normally take anywere near this many but I need bait for when I start conger an Huss fishing so it really does save a lot of money an the hole family got some
Fish hitting about in buckets hate to see that I never take allot of mackeral from the same shoal. Beautiful fish for eating and fighting fish. Usually love your videos Smash fishing but not a fan of this one.
it's annoying watching your videos because in the South East of the UK where I fish, i think theres about 1 fish in the entire damn sea and he's a sneaky one. SEND YOUR FISH OUR WAY!
To light a barbecue the best way is to rollup toilet paper soak in cooking oil and light it in the center of the coal like a volcano and it will do the job itself in any weather 😊
I had some makeral in the fridge and the misses said what you doing with this fish I said iam going to smoke it she said have you got some big enough rizla's😂😂😂
if struggling to get coals light use the wifes hair dryer to get some more air to the coals will help get the coals going and ur welcome buddy the apple wood goes really well with smoked fish and chicken and other meats
I’ll stick to watching The Fish Locker. Genuine conservationist who only takes what he needs and educates how to fish properly with respect for the fish and conservation. 300 mackerel? FFS. That’s crude.
Let’s Have This! What a trip it was mate! Thanks for coming out again on the inglorious vessel now time to watch this beast of a video!
Thanks for taking me out mate
@@SMASHFISHING anytime you know that mate
Well done lads 👍 hope to get something similar one day 🤞

We do that in Scotland - Arbroath Smokies
The reason that do that in Africa is due to the heat

God I love smoked mackerel 🤤 brown bread toast, mackerel and some scrambled eggs.. beautiful 😋🤤
Excellent shout. The missis does a bloody delicious smoked mackerel pâté. Again on brown bread plenty of fresh ground black pepper.
@@blindhowlingdrunk Smoked mackerel pate is superb, as is, of all things, smoked mackerel lasagne. Honest!

I remember catching mackerel... 20 years ago lol welcome to the Bristol channel 😢
Nicely done guys , smoked mackerel lovely with a summer salad in the garden on an evening yum ! Lol M

Smash and Inglorious, what a killer combination.
yep!
I love smoked Mackerel, they are delicious!!!
So, when you smoke a mackerel, which end do you light?
We just bought a new smoker/bbq, and the mackies are in in force here in Cornwall!
Nom Nom Nom!
Save some for the rest of us hehe cracking trip well done 👍👍👌
It's nice to see you expanding outside of the normal kitchen. Good work, looks great!
Great vi, great catch; try lightly oiling the grill bars with a brush when cold then nothing will stick, alternatively, oil the mackerel.
always bring a smile bro love your videos
So much fun to watch!!!
Great video jay, you were like a kid in a sweet shop. It looked yummy, looking forward to future smoking videos
Thanks rach , hope your doing well

where did you get that smoker from and can it bought online,
Keep an eye on water temp when reaches 18*c tuna be coming for dem mackerel
As always great content
I call mackrell the tigers of the sea, beautiful fish. Great trip and a lush cook up. Wow that smoked mackrell looked amazing 👏

Great video that looks tasty how long did you leave the Mackerel in the smoker ???
Mackerel on a lure rod!!!! Great fun!!!
Smoked spider crab 🦀 would be interesting.
Very clever! ever heard of depleting fish stocks obviously not.

Nothing better than a day out catching mackerel..then going home to smoke them.....the taste is just fantastic fresh smoked fish can't get fresher 😊👍

Wow man, thats life !! All the best !
great content smash what part of gurnsey is that
Good to see you both together lads!!
Look up smoked fish dip it usually uses cream cheese and smoked fish with vegetables and it's amazing
Great colour mouth's watering now👍
How do you stop catching mackerel?
By far my favourite fish smoked. I have done a thai curry with them. Just flake it in at the end. Really tasty!
Keep smashing it mate! 😃
every time i see someone catching mackeral my mouth waters, they are the best fish to eat, only when they are gutted straight after catching, fresher the better
Wow you weren’t kidding mate! 🙌 309!!!
Great fishing day for you guys 🍷🍷
Great job lads, the village will be happy haha. Got about 70 mackies on my last trip and a little gurnard, first time catching one aswell! Love your vids bro, slainte from across the pond in dublin 🎣🎣
Add some oil to your grid or spray and cook.. skin won’t stick and it will get nice and crispy
If youre into smoked fish buy a Bradley smoker-fillet mackeral, table salt fillets 30min ,rinse off ,smoke at 180degrees done.
great video guys
Where is this place bro
These look so tender!
Nice work Smash, I was a bit dubious when I saw how many you caught, but when you’re using them for bait,and pots ?, it saves a fortune 🐟🎣
Yeah I wouldn’t normally take anywere near this many but I need bait for when I start conger an Huss fishing so it really does save a lot of money an the hole family got some

Love your channel. 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Did your boat sink or something?
that smoked mackrel looks fab. im dribling.
great watching lads
Looks nice n tasty 😋
You've caught more fish in this one trip than I have my whole life by 10x lol
I'm glad I ate before I watched this one😁
Before you put mackerel on the grill to smoke brine them pat them dry then hot smoke them
As I walk along the beach just above the low water line, I see literaly hundres of white bait (dead) would these be edible ?
it's annoying watching your videos because in the South East of the UK where I fish, i think theres about 1 fish in the entire damn sea and he's a sneaky one. SEND YOUR FISH OUR WAY!
The French have had them all.😎

Hello friends, really good at fishing, thanks for the good video🐟🦈👌👍
Should definitely get a table 😅
If you're going to be doing a lot of smoking get a chimney starter. One or two pieces of newspaper and it's blazing in 5 minutes. No chemical taste.
I'd love to see you do a lobster 🦞 in the smoker and let us know how it tastes
I’m definitely going to try that 🔥
@@SMASHFISHING can't wait to see it 😊😊🦞🦞
That's a lot of fish woo-hoo love smoked fish
Epic Catches!!!!
They sure were some fish
Edit- Wow thanks for the Likes Im blushing
U gotta love Inglorious👍
❤
@@IngloriousFishing Cheers mate!
Memancing ikan mackerel memang sangat menyenangkan, bisa dapat banyak dalam waktu singkat menggunakan sabiki 👍👍
Salt your fish before smoking. It gets a better smoke taste
Great tip , thanks
Petrol flavour mackerel
I had some makeral in the fridge and the misses said what you doing with this fish I said iam going to smoke it she said have you got some big enough rizla's😂😂😂
When the fish quits being stuck to the grill its ready.
Great vid good to see you and Danno out fishing. The cook looked good too. 😁🐡👍
Try some horse radish with your smoked mackrel delicious 😮
Put them in a saltbrine about 8% salt over night use less coal 80 ° c in the oven is enough 😂
I take it there's no limit on mackrell ?
There should be!! The sooner a limit is introduced, the better. Over 300 in one session is unreasonable imo!
Hey Smash.. you ok? No videos for FOREVER!
I didn't no that you could get 2 idiots on 1 boat
Yeah easy got a few more we can invite next time 🫣😂
@18m15s Shout out to Rizzla's....
- I just subscribed to you as well !
if struggling to get coals light use the wifes hair dryer to get some more air to the coals will help get the coals going and ur welcome buddy the apple wood goes really well with smoked fish and chicken and other meats
Nice tip mate il try that 🔥
I use potato chips as fire lighters, burn really well and don't have to wait for burn off
I actually guessed the right amount, and I don’t know how I did it lol
Taking far too many in one day, especially small ones. Otherwise, great vid.
Why so greedy??
Because they have found a good spot, which are rare to find

@@martinstuart9736this guy has made no noticeable difference to mackerel numbers, there are super trawlers taking 1000ton a landing…
Probably commercial. Mackerel are selling for £6 each in my local fish monger
Little slinks to took many
When you catch them like that it gets to be work. Fish on the deck can bust your butt. Follow the school and you will wear yourself out.
❤
Mackerel is on the Amber list right now because of many years of overfishing..
No mackerel are on amber because of the factory ships sucking 1000 tons a go , not the little anglers taking some for bait for the year
💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
No wonder there are bugger all fish left !!!
If there was bugger all left I wouldn’t be able to catch like this 🤣 , look at the Hoover boats not the small anglers
309 mackrel 1 Bass and 1 Pollack. 😂
Where are your life jackets
My guess is 352!!
He's gotta know he's using a casting reel on a spinning rod
❤❤❤❤❤
I like macky bashing on a float i keep a couple , why keep 300 lads no wonder stocks are down .
Why so many fish? You can take another trip.😮😮😮
I’m a commercial fishermen , that fish just paid for my months worth of feul for the boat hsha
Put your fire lighters under the coal not on top
Fishmongers ☹️
