Hi there...This is a family recipe from Pemberton, BC,Canada
1 cup pickling salt
2 quarts cold water
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
pepper,worcestershire sauce and garlic to taste
Mix well: pour over fish chunks (I used mostly filets).For fresh fish marinate 10 -12 hours. For previously frozen marinate 6-8 hours as the fish will take on flavours faster after thawing.
Wash WELL in cold water...completely and thoroughly or fish will be salty.
Dry on clean tea towels. 1-2 hours. Appearance should be semi gloss and dry.
Smoke 12 hours. Half way through ;sprinkle with brown sugar.
Add smoking chips twice.
I have used this for small trout and then canned them in quart sealers. It's an awesome tasting recipe.
