Smoked Trout
Ingredients
- 1, 24- inch 6- to 7-pound trout
- 2 cups teriyaki sauce
- 1 cup soy sauce low sodium (will be saltier if not low sodium)
- 3 tablespoons garlic chopped
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper if you prefer spicier fish
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in saucepan, then bring to boil. Turn off heat and let cool.
- Ladle some sauce into bottom of 12-inch bowl or pan, then place fileted fish in. Continue ladling sauce over fish, layering until each piece is completely coated. Let marinate in refrigerator overnight.
- Remove from marinade, pat filets dry, and press in a bit of black pepper if a spicier fish is preferred.
- Place smoking racks in grill or smoker, then position filets on racks with a bit of space between them. Rotate racks after 2 hours at least once for consistent smoking. Taste test to see if done after at least 2 hours of smoking.
