Dinner thread?

[screamO]

Last sat I tried smoked snap and rig at a mates bbq for the first time ever and enjoyed them muchly, so tonight I smoked a snap.







This is my second plate......all that loose meat is from the head.....there may be a few less fish heads given away from now on!



I knew there was meat in there of course but I had never actually cooked a snapper head myself and was bloody surprised how much there was!

4lb of Smoked trout over pohutakawa sawdust. Dry brine "garlic salt, Himalayan pink salt, brown sugar, and secret herbs and spices" I'd have to say in the portable hot smoker, pohutakawa is the bomb

Worked with a guy whose family fished the kaipara for a living, his granny only ate the heads, even on a king snapper the flesh is juicy. She also made shark oil but thats a different story.

Bloody tasty and moist. For my first run with the charcoal I'm stoked. I'm thinking a bit of pork next.

Pohutakawa tree plus equals lots of chips for smoking

That looks very European? If you want Pohutakawa over here you need to head to Sapin seen a few their

The meat on the head is easily the nicest too! Do you get big kahawai down there? A decent kahawai head will do a smoked fish pie on its own. Being a slightly more oily fish than snapper it really does well in a hot smoker. My mates fish smoker is just an oil drum, he hangs the whole gutted and scaled fish up by a steel hook and gives it 2 hours. To die for!

Yep donkys.....I laugh at the "trophy kahawai" on big angry fish and matt watsons shows.


Will try a head....usually just smoke fillets of kahawai(smaller ones that fit in the smoker) to vac pack and freeze for fish pie.
