Whitting filets
Whitting filets
I bought some frozen whiting today and salted and cured 6 ounces and put them in the smoker after they had time to soak up the salt and dry and smoked them over apple for about 5 hours and brought them in and baked them at 250°F until they flaked easily. They are as good as smoked trout.

I mixed salt at 3% of the weight of the fish and cure #1 at .25% and sugar at1.5% placed the filets and the salt mixture in a glass dish for 3 hours. (they are quite thin) rinsed them and dried them with a paper towel and smoked them about 4 hours in cold smoke, then baked them at 250°F until they flaked easily. 4 pieces only weighed 6 ounces.

cold smoking
It is 16°F outside and I have some whitting filets of the smoker I hope that if I make a strong enough fire I can get above freezing in the smoker.
