About Smoking Fish - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

A friend with a fishing house in Bahia Los Angeles was drying fish in a home made cold smoker rig continually because of his shortage of refrigerator space.

In his more primitive circumstances, he covered small slices of yellowtail with Montreal Steak Seasoning from Costco, then smoked them until they were leathery like jerky. Those went into generous single portion zip loc bags for lunch on his boat. I admit, it was pretty amazing to snack on these spicy pieces of dried yellowtail with an ice chest of cold beer while fishing.

I don't know if he was using brine first or not.
