I have smoked everything except snapper. Only because I catch so few and I am afraid of fucking it up. Even smoke the odd cray.
I prepare all fish for hot or cold smoking basically the same.

Smoked cheese, eggs, onions, spices, salt, nuts, jerky, sausages, game birds mussels, oysters I could go on but I will sound like Bubba and his shrimp.

I’ll get a professional to do the salmon but might start using some of these ideas on a few kahawai then. Cheers

You will be smoking salmon in no time if you get the Kahawai sussed.
I have yet to try any bought salmon that comes close to the results you can get yourself.
It is generally too mild on the smoke and flavour. Being wild fish helps a lot as well.

Well if you’re in Christchurch once it’s done come round for a cold one and some crackers and salmon.

Yep done and dusted. Will call them tomorrow, what was the rough price? I assume they vacuum pack etc

Yep all vacuum packed about 4-5 pieces a side depending on how big your fish is and about $30 a fish

Will be in salmon for awhile. Very happy with result

@PerazziSC3 where did you get it done in the end?
