O yum! What kind of wood ya smoking them with....apple?
-
:scratch: :scratch: where you buy them at???????? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
man I haven't had a smoked tully in ages. I really wanted to hit leech lake but with the conditions as they are!!!!!!!! :confused: :confused: :confused:
-
Very nice HD. They really are a good looking fish too. I've caught a couple over the years. Never had the chance to actually fish for them. May have to try that.
-
darn good eating too!!
-
there actually not a bad pickled fish either. they just suck cleaning them for pickling.
-

Not sure yet Rebs... what would you suggest? I got some apple, plum, oak, hickory or mesquite to choose from.
This will be the Virgin voyage for the new electric smoker, so any advice would be awesome!
These are the tullibees I caught fishing with Dakids on Mille Lacs.
I had a couple whitefish I caught on Leech a few years ago that I was going to add.... but they smelled freezer burned.... so they got tossed to the barn 🐈

Well, I know for sure don't wanna use mesquite for fish! Bitter! I always used apple, lighter and sweeter. But, I'm not the smoker king....the other guys on here are lots better with that than me.

You can net them in the fall when they come in shallow to spawn. It's legal and all that.

Hmmm...never heard of using this....
Wood for Smoking fish.
Alder is a very delicate wood with a subtle sweet flavor. It's commonly used when smoking salmon, but it goes well with most fish, pork, poultry and light-meat game birds. Apple has a very mild with a subtle sweet, fruity flavor.

hickory blend, apple or they did make a cherry blend to I think??? not sure on that....
-
I got some gooseberry trees I could get a few branches off of.
-
Never tried Gooseberry, but I've used lots of Alder and Apple on fish..
-
interesting.... let us know if it works, if ya try it...

I wonder if the alder they talk about is similar to the alder that grows in the swamps of northern MN.

Probably not, it's from smokehouse in Oregon. Looks like the red Alder is popular out that away.

So we have black or tag alder. Is there that much difference? Guess I need to do some looking at botany sites. :pouty:
-
Looks like what we have is "speckled alder" and the west coast has "red alder" They are the same genus, but different species. Guess I need to cut a bag full this summer and see how it works for smoming.
-
Rinsed off and drying, waiting for the smoker to heat up....
I found some cherry wood I saved from a tree we had in the yard . I'm gonna try that.....

Let us know how that goes. Have an old chokecherry tree that bit the dust in a windstorm last year. Been tempted to try some.
-
I have a bag of cherry wood I use on my ribs. It works well. :smiley:
