Smoking Blue Fish (to Eat)

[fishleader]

Does anyone smoke blue fish??
I do and also make a blue fish salad to put on crackers.
To smoke the bluefish filet, I use a charcoal smoker.

SMOKED FISH
Leave the skin on the fish filet.
Sprinkle with garlic powder, season-all, and black pepper.
Place filet on rack (skin side down). Place larger filet closer to the
heat source. Smoke untill well done.

FISH SALAD
Cool overnight in refrigerator.
Remove skin and all dark meat from filets.
Chop or flake the filets to yield 2 cups of fish
Chop and add: 1 and 1/2 c. celery l c. finely diced tomatoes
1c. chopped lettuce 2/3c. relish *2Tbsp. parsley
Mayonnaise measured to your liking
*optional
