Smoking ling
 

Brine=2 cups water, 1/2 cup dark soy sauce,1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup kosher salt and 1/8 cup granulated garlic. I soak for 1-2 days. Smoke with apple wood. You can get away with oak but I think hickory imparts too strong a taste. Just like whiting.

Looks good. You got me hungry...Charlie

Agree with the apple wood vs. hickory. I use different concentrations but use less soy sauce and add dark molasses.

Good job on the ling for sure!!! How long will it last in the frig smoked?

Wonder if it would be good to make a dip with???

It stays good at least a month. The more salt the longer

Re: Smoking ling
 

I know this an old thread, but at what temp and how long do you smoke?

Re: Smoking ling
 

As low as you can do temp wise. My old propane smoker could hold 200 but that was the lowest. Only need a couple hours with the ling.

Try smoking Tog later in the season...that comes out really nice as well!. Makes a great fish dip.

As you can see by my smoker there aren't any intricate controls. Just throw wood in and keep an I on them. There is a water pan between fire and ling.
