Smoked fish is a favorite dish all over the world with a particularly delicious taste. Nevertheless to get quality smoked fish, it is necessary to focus on both fishing and processing.

1. Fishing secrets

  • Choosing the time: The ideal time to catch smoked fish depends on the type of fish. Usually, it is recommended to choose a season of fatty, healthy fish. For example, salmon are often caught in the fall when they store energy to migrate upstream.
  • Fishing methods: It is recommended to use gentle fishing methods to avoid rubbing the fish, affecting the quality of smoking. Commonly used options include fishing, fin nets, or fishing nets.
  • Keep the fish fresh: Immediately after catching, it is necessary to treat the fish immediately to keep it fresh. This can be done by scaling, abdominal dissection, organ removal, and cryopreservation.

2. Smoked fish processing

  • Marinade: Most types of smoked fish go through the marinating phase with salt, sugar, and other spices. This is an important step that removes moisture from the fish, facilitates longer storage and helps the flavor of the smoked wood penetrate deep into the fish meat.
  • Drying: After marinating, the fish needs to be surface dried. The fish can be hung in a cool, windy place or use a dryer to remove moisture.
  • Smoking: Smoking is the most important stage. The wood is carefully selected to produce the desired aroma. Common woods used to smoke fish include hickory, alder, and cherry. The temperature and smoking time also need to be strictly controlled to ensure that the fish cooks evenly, has a beautiful color and characteristic flavor.

Tip:

  • To enrich the flavor of smoked fish, you can add herbs such as bay leaves, basil, or black pepper to the marinating stage.
  • Smoked fish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to several weeks. However, to preserve the best flavor, it is recommended to use the fish within one to two weeks of smoking.

Note:

  • In some countries, the fishing and processing of smoked fish may be regulated by law. It is necessary to learn the local regulations before you begin.
