Smoked Rainbow Trout on Masterbuilt Smoker

[@desmotanker]

That smile at the end says all, I'm trying this during this weekend. I got about 1.2 pounds of rainbow trout filets and a pound of walleye filets (just for my first try experiment on a pellet smoker). Thank you for the good information about brining, that was a step I looked over.

[@Armadillopepper]

Let me know how it turns out

[@desmotanker]

@@Armadillopepper it was amazing my dude, I added in a salmon filet, same brine for all but different rubs for each. Over some rice with asparagus! Can't wait to do it again

I am going to give this a try! Hopefully I will be able to use fish that I catch. Thank you for the recipe Jeff. I always love watching your videos!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks John. I need some fresh caught fish!

[@buckeyebunnyhunter]

Thanks, caught 4 trout this morning. Going to smoke them just like this. Looks tasty!!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks. I wish I was somewhere catching trout.

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

I really like smoking fish and trout works great, plenty of it here. Really nice color from the cherry wood as well, perfect with fish. I need to do this soon, you got me hungry hah. Have a great weekend Jeff!

[@Armadillopepper]

Hey Charley, Thanks so much. Is it cooling off your way?

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

Armadillo Pepper BBQ Definitely overnight but 80s during the day, not bad at all.

[@nicolebrandon8895]

It was delicious! Even my picky eater son loves it. Making it again tonight. 😉

[@Armadillopepper]

Excellent!

[@thegrumpyolgringo]

Good looking trout. I liked the use of the cherry chips. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎.

[@Armadillopepper]

Much thanks Grumpy!

[@peteratkin6151]

I'm not big on fish, except for pike, but my folks and partner love it. We had a winner with your fatty and armadillo eggs, so I'm gonna try this for them. I can always have a steak. Another great idea. Thanks

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Peter. I prefer walleye over pike, but if it's fresh caught I'll eat either!

[@jimmisiakowski9565]

Nice recipe Jeff. Love me some smoked fish!!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Jim. We used to buy smoked whiting when I would go to Canada each year as a kid.

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Another excellent cook Jeff

[@Armadillopepper]

Thank you Lasse. Next time I'll put some spray oil on the grates.

Thanks Ian. I grew up fishing as well. My son is going fishing in the morning.

[@iangoodisDMX]

@@Armadillopepper very cool. I remember waking up right at sun up and riding with my grandpa to McDonalds and he got coffee, and of all things asks for a container of pickles to eat. So funny.... great memories. I loved the catfish, blue gill, bass mix we had that day.

Man Jeff that looks really good. I definitely need to break out my Bradley and smoke some fish. It is getting to be that time of year.

Turn to Jesus people he died for your sins, Repent of what the New Testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel obey the teachings of Jesus documented in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved, be baptized if you have faith in Jesus then you will live life with him as your example. If you need prayer i'll pray for you. If you want to keep contact with a brother in Christ i’ll keep contact with you. The love of God is beyond our understanding. God bless,../

Man this sure sounds good Jeff! You are the king of the brines! Delicious video bud!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Rob. I don't eat trout very often, so this was fun.

[@handcannon1388]

I should try that. I do have a trout in the freezer, but I think I'd try salmon fillets. Thanks to your reminder, I'll do my best to oil the rack. Now I just need to have more time off work so that I can plan to do anything.

[@421rants2]

@@Armadillopepper looks good Jeff. I think that I'm going to stick with the rainbow trout recipe this time, but I will be using the sauce from the catfish recipe. That just looked perfect. = )

[@421rants2]

Okay...on the Bradley, with pecan wood. Turned out very nice. Flaky, not oily,(which surprised me because catfish is a lot more oily than rainbow trout), and the pecan smoke worked very nicely...... The sauce from Jeff's smoked catfish recipe is required. That really kicked it over the top. I didn't have any habanero sauce, so I used the Tabasco scorpion sauce......... Careful with that one it's extremely dangerous/fun, (2,000,000 on the scoville scale, Tami will like it). I took a bite, and did a little dance just like Jeff does it was so good......= )
