Smoking fish

The main secret of a delicious and fragrant delicacy is a properly selected variety of fish for smoking. When buying fish, you need to pay attention to the following:

  • Fish must be fresh. Frozen and enveloped mackerel will never be so fragrant as fresh.

  • The cooking process takes much less time than cold smoking.
  • Due to the fact that the fish is prepared at high temperatures, it has a pleasant aroma of smoke.
  • Products prepared by the hot way are not so fat like when cold smoked.
  • Because of the cooking technology, it acquires a gentle and juicy texture.

Cold smoking

The cooking temperature during cold smoked should not exceed 40 degrees.

Cooking time is 2-3 days. The shelf life is 30 days from the date of preparation.

The fish, which smoked in a cold way, has a more dense texture and looks like drunk.

Firewood and sawdust for smoking

Not always the taste of fish depends on its type and technology of cooking. A significant role in this is the firewood and sawdust chosen by you. Different tree breeds give a different taste with your dish.

It is best to give preference to Maple, Aldhe and Oak. However, birch, apple tree, pear and nuts are suitable. Before the preparation of firewood for smokehouse, remove the bark from the wood.

The crust contains a large number of resin, due to which the fish can be patched. In no case should not be used pine. It burns badly, and in the process of combustion, there is a large amount of smoke.

Not only the taste of fish depends on the choice of wood, but also its color. To give the fish brown or mustard shade, you should choose an oak or alder.

If you want it to acquire an attractive golden color, then you will be perfectly suitable maple, linden and other deciduous trees.

Also pay attention to the quality of sawdust. For smoking are not suitable:

  • Sawdust, which enlarged a lot of moisture. They brave themselves for a long time and constantly fuck.
  • Too dry sawdust weakly smoothly and burned too quickly.
  • Rotten chips during combustion have an unpleasant smell, which will affect the taste qualities of the fish.
  • Coniferous sawdust contain a large number of resin, which gives bitterness of fish, and can also cause bad well-being.

Features of smoking for fish

Depending on the smoked method, smokehouses have their own characteristic features. Let's look at what is unique each of them.

For cold smoked

In the process of cold smoking, smoke from smokehouse passes underground, therefore, it cools up to the necessary 40 degrees. Therefore, the length of the pipe should be about 10 meters. Also in the cold smokehouse there are two cameras. In one of them smoke is formed, and in another there is a fish.

For hot smoked

The basic rule of hot smoked is based on the fact that the coating temperature of the fish should be from 90-120 degrees. In turn, the bottom of the smoke is heated to 300-350 degrees.

Sawdust in it must be thrown gradually to prevent the formation of a large amount of smoke. It will be correct if your smoke will be large enough, it will not overheat.
