Simple Smoked Trout Recipe

OK so it finally all comes together and you’re catching and releasing trout with the best of them,  but a part of you wants to bring one or two home to prove to the family that you can put food on the table! But how can you  prepare them in a way that ensures that everybody will enjoy the fruits of your labour? Easy ……. SMOKE EM! Cause everybody likes smoked fish … and everybody LOVES flyguys simple smoked trout recipe! 🙂

Simple Smoked Trout | Directions

Step 1: Fillet the trout and remove all bones – including the pin bones!  If you are not already familiar with the process you can learn how to fillet a fish on our website here.

Step 2: Prepare the dry brine …

• Brown Sugar: 2 Cups
• Course Salt: 1/3 Cup
• Montreal Steak Spice: 1 Heaping Tbsp.

Step 3: In a non metal container layer the trout fillets with the dry brine you prepared above. Use just enough to lightly cover the fillets. Once all the fillets are covered put the whole container in the fridge over night. At this point you can drink beer (or whatever) till you pass out.

* the drinking till you pass out is optional. 😉

Step 4: When you wake up, have a coffee and then retrieve the container from the fridge. Proceed to remove the trout fillets from the brine, rinse them with cold water & then let them stand until they are tacky. Once tacked up sprinkle them with a bit of black pepper.

… tacked up, peppered & ready to smoke!

* The “let them stand till tacky” part is very important and could take over an hour so be patient – it will be worth it!

Step 5: Load the now brined and tacked up trout fillets into your smoker and smoke them to your preferred dryness. We like them quite dry but finish yours to your preference. You may have to experiment until you figure out how you like them best, and that may mean more fishing,  but hey someones got to do it!  😉

Step 6: That’s it folks! Once they are as dry as you like them unload the smoker and start eating! When it’s all gone go fishing and start all over again!

* Vacuum seal what you don’t eat right away (ya right) and freeze it for use in the future.

……. enjoy!
