Smoked Lake Trout--Indian Candy, Instructions and Pictures

Thanks for that Ralph.

I have not smoked fish for years, but after trying yours, I just got one again this spring and will be back at it.

Thanks for the great recipe...but first I will have to learn how to catch Lake Trout!

Don't worry about delivery, Ralph. We'll come over! When's a good time tomorrow??

That looks unbelievably delicious, but it has reminded me of something, we've got trout in the freezer, heck yeah baby!

Hi I want to try your recipe? Can you tell me what your brine and cure is?

Here's a recipe for Rainbow/ Salmon/ Pike Smoked Candy that I just used last week in my Big Chief:

Prepare your brine:

1/2 cup sea or kosher salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup maple syrup (the real stuff)
garlic salt to taste
Montreal steak seasoning to taste

Mix together in a big bowl
let stand in fridge

Prepare fish:
fillet, debone and cut into 1/2" strips
place in brine for 24-48 hrs
then use toothpicks through end of meat and place on racks in smoker to dry for 6-12 hrs - once meat has a shine or "pellicle" its time to smoke for 4-12 hrs depending on how chewy you want.
Once done, just try not to eat it all at once!

I can't stop drooling either. I have to change me shirt now, I slobbered all down the front of it.

Great post!

Thanks for sharing Ralph....had some of your candy at the meet and greet and loved it.....will definitely have to try your recipe this coming season.

It's too bad I couldn't reach through my computer monitor and grab a piece.
Looks delicious.
