Ah, the elusive mackerel. I had a failed trip a couple of weeks ago. Managed a couple of small Bass, but that was about it. Smoked mackerel are fantastic.Up at the north coast this weekend. We completely failed to catch any mackerel today. I was going to fillet and cure them here then get the cold smoker going tomorrow night when I got home. Mondays breakfast plans have just gone to pot
Cheers for that. First time out for me, I’ll be cutting the time down on both the cure and the smoke next time round.Good to see you have had a go at cold smoking. 9 hours seems excessive for a piece that size. I do about 4 hours max. Regards the cutting up, the last piece I did, I peeled the skin off and cut it conventionally, and that worked well for very thin slices with no waste. You can also, if you wish, remove the gray crud easily this way, should you wish.
Kudos! I’m not allowed to cook our turkey outside. The Mrs is a stickler for her proper Christmas bird.Nice!
I did our Turkey on the BGE - it came out great. Nothing fancy just roasted at 350F
Looks absolutely amazingThor’s Hammer, which is a French trimmed beef shank. Smoked for 4 hours until the internal temp hit 70C, then braised for another 6hrs holding the internal temp around the 95C mark. Served with Pit Beans.
