Dinga! You’re a legend! Thanks for making such a simple and short vid for us all to use! I’m off to smoke our NZ kahawai now for the first time.
I’ve been using my little kipper smoker for years (very similar to this one shown). Best tip I can give us to brine the fish overnight in a brown sugar/maple water mix - I also add a few cloves of garlic and peppercorns. Needs to cover the fish in liquid. As far as the smoke, go to BBQs galore and get a little stainless box called a pellet smoker - the bags of pellets are cheap as and last a long time. So much easier than those little packets of woodchips, and the smoke flavour is a lot more intense. If you want your fish a little drier like I do, you normally need 3 or 4 stove fillings and burns 👍
Cut into finger size bits for faster smoking - bit of cracked pepper on top, and have with a water cracker on a cheese platter.
Here's a good recipe for you.
Ingredients
• 1 Cup Brown Sugar
• 4 Tbsp Soya Sauce
• 3 Tbsp Sea Salt (must be sea salt)
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
1. Mix ingredients together with boiling water - about a litre.
2. Add 1 litre of cold water or enough to cover the fish ( I used 2 litres) - fish must be covered
3. Leave in the brine for a minimum of 12 hours
4. Remove fish from the Brine and air-dry for 2 hours (MUST be air dried-not in the fridge)
5. Smoke with your usual woodchips and smoker
Tailor, mullet and Australian Salmon are all sensational in the smoker, brown sugar, salt and fresh cracked pepper is all I use. I line the bottom of my smoker with a layer of foil, it makes clean up 10 times easier especially when using the brown sugar as it drips and burns to the bottom. I heard a loud bang one night, my smoker the same as yours blew a chunk out of the concrete in my back yard about 10cm round and 2cm deep, it was obviously moisture in the concrete.
Bring back Dinga!
Thanks so much for instructions, that was great. Hope mine turn out as good as yours))))
Coconut Sugar works great to, i'm about to do a catch and cook episode for my channel and will be smoking it yew!
About to smoke a kahawai that's been bingchilling in a brine for 12+hours 🎉 hope to not fck it up, cheers for the video 👍
Great vid dude.
Good tips. Looks like you are at Bobbin Head.
less sawdust is better for improved taste
Can you use wood smoker chips instead of sawdust?
hey! can you help me? I smoked mackerel just like you did in the same smoker. it tasted like metho! i lighted the burner with metho. Do you know why this happened? was horrible had to throw out :(
How long it takes to be ready ?
Have you tried alternatives for salt and sugar (diabetic friendly that is)
sugar is not necessary. I have never used sugar before. Seems weird to do that.
Nice! How long did it take until the fish was done? Cheers
