My OMG! .... Rum brine for Smoked fish
Message:
Hi, OK! Here is my Rum brine recipe for smoking fish: 2 quarts of warm water 1/2 cup Kosher salt 3/4 cup dark honey 1/2 cup light or dark sugar (I prefer light) 10-12 crushed cloves 10-12 crushed allspice berries 2 large crushed bay leaves 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 cup of dark rum -> (1/2 cup in brine and 1/2 cup over ice for me :D ) Whisk all ingredients well and put in frig to chill. Once chilled add fillets, making sure all are covered with brine. Brine for minimum of 24-36 hours. Rinse fillets lightly in fresh water and put on smoking rack to dry for 1 hour. Smoke with 50/50 blend of apple wood chips and pecan wood chips for 4 1/2 hours -> temp should not go over 180 degrees in smoker. Take smoked fillets out of smoker and let cool for an hour. ENJOY :!: [img:1fb9764c6e]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=16459[/img:1fb9764c6e] OMG GOOD :!: SeaDog1 :mrgreen:

Thanks for thr recipe.... I can taste the salmon already. I just bought a Bradley smoker to replace my Brinkman. I'll try your brine once I "season" the Bradley with some heat and smoke.
