Do the regular catfish brine that is brown sugar and salt then rinse the next day and smoke it.  Pretty much Pops brine mixture.. That is what I always did with catfish sides and it was great!!!!!

my nord smoking brine is simply 2 qts water, 1 cup pickling salt, 1 cup white sugar. I then add worchestire sauce, and soy sauce to darken the water color. I usually throw in garlic powder and anything else that trips my trigger outta da seasoning shelf.

hope it helps!!!!!!!!!! :happy1: :happy1:

that's enough brine to smome 8 slabs of 2-3 lb pike!!!!!!!

oh yea I like setting in brine 24 hours give or take an hour.

 :rotflmao: :rotflmao: whore sauce!! :rotflmao: I don't measure, but not alot, just enough to darken the water, then I add the soy sauce to make it look more dark. If I had to guess it be about 3/4 cup whore sauce and 1 1/2 cup soy.

I never used pops brine so I can't speak for that.

I also rinse the fish off before smomin!

Hey everyone,
Been a while since I've posted but this one piqued my interest.  I will be on the Rainy this weekend for the last few days of the season.  I usually don't get a tag, but a few in our party do.  From what I've tasted of their creations, it's always been disappointing. Maybe they're not doing it right.  I keep hearing it's an awesome smoked fish, but everything I've been given has been OK at best.

Interested to know how it turns out for you, Boar... Maybe it's time I keep one and just try it myself. Not sure if it's the reverence for a fish that's older than me or the fact that it's been sucking paper mill wastewater and farm drainage for 40 years, but I just haven't been able to bring myself to kill one. Perhaps your experience will make me a changed man, please document your process!

It certainly has a high reputation and price to go with it.   Although that possibly is due to it being a byproduct of caviar production, another thing that I have eaten, yes the real deal beluga stuff, and didn't quite get what the fuss was all about.   It was good but not THAT good.     200/oz for caviar and 80 bucks a pound for smoked sturgeon...
