Dark Confessions From Fishermen |
|
|
Rough fish. They're netted, speared, shot with bows and turned into fertilizer. But for all the disrespect they get, species like suckers and carp morph into something strangely addictive after a go-round in the smoker.
Don't believe us? Try it ... you don't have to tell anyone.
Swallow your pride long enough to fillet a few suckers or carp, removing the ribs. Coat the flesh of each fillet with a generous layer of kosher salt and stack them skin-side-down in a large glass baking pan (no metal). Cover, then give them about eight hours of fridge time.
Take out the fillets and rinse them thoroughly in cold water. Place skin-side-down on some paper towels and allow them to dry for an hour, during which time they'll develop a tacky glaze.
Finally, place the fish in a smoker like Cabela's Premium Electric, and let them cure for about eight hours. In other words, leave 'em in until they're the color of caramel.
The result is a snack that's so good it'll likely lead to questions from your friends—so get ready to 'fess up.
