Best Smoked Trout Recipe

[@RoadTestSuccess]

Tried your recipe today using the brown sugar and brine salt method - smoked up 6 trout filets - Worked perfectly - Delicious - Thank you!

[@reedsport100]

Thank you! I've smoked quite a bit; Salmon, Oysters, Trout, etc... Always good to learn new tricks

[@hankhighsmith9050]

I smoked some trout once back in the 70s. Made me see rainbows.

[@SB-qh8ps]

Hence the name “rainbow” trout ...😂

[@bruceallen2862]

Hank, That’s Funny!

[@stevedyer5902]

“Double rainbows, what could it mean?”

[@jeffreycurtis9075]

Smoking trout made easy. You've made it fool proof bud. Cheers

[@C.Davidson]

Hands down best way to do it. Excellent video !

[@MrMegaFredZeppelin]

I have not had trout in along time. As a child I would visit my grandparents in Idaho and catch trout on the Snake River :-) My uncle taught me how to clean and filet trout :-) I have the Little Chief smoker :-) I need to give this a try :-) A "BIG" thumbs up :-) Merry Christmas :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!

[@joenorthfarnorth7762]

[@chadmathews5207]

I can't wait to try this out it looks awesome. Thank you for being so informative this looks like a great recipe for a camp out.

[@kennethcaine3402]

Great video, I love all the recipes, when you removed that rack from the smoker with those fillets it made my mouth water. I can tell you know what you're doing, great knife work and great presentation you've been doing this for years. Thanks!!!!!

[@rodmillerjr6686]

my mouth is watering. love smoked fish

[@beawesomeoutdoors]

We love the sugar cure trout! Thanks for sharing.

[@dalehammond1704]

Good job. My 1st experience with the Little Chief was "smoked chicken." I used the box to insulate (as was recommended in those days) and after hours we took it out and bit into raw chicken. I followed all the methods for various foods and finally threw it away. But I know these can work, my brother had one and liked it for salmon. I just never figured it out.

[@scoobydollar638]

Uuuuuugh I love smoked trout I'm gonna eat it right NOW!

[@TheFrogfeeder]

That knife is awesome, cuts that trout like butter. Thanks for the tips, I’ve never smoked trout before, was wondering whether folks do it whole or filleted...a little of both it seems...I already started using a different video, but the lake is spitting out limits like it’s allergic to trout, so I’m gonna follow your methods in the next couple days...

[@anthonyfoulkrid908]

[@ApostleKayz]

[@roynorman9185]

[@thomasesplin5658]

Just caught a bunch of little rainbows on the Teton River I am trying your recipe right now and smoking them tomorrow wish me luck thanks for your video

[@slavapal00za]

Thank you for the video! I love smoked trout!

[@robertcameron3863]

Great presentation, Ill give it a try.

[@1Aorangi]

If you cut the fish from the top and leave the belly skin in place, you can slip the rib bones and flap the whole fish open in one piece. This means you only have one piece to deal with rather than two and the fish holds together well. You could take the backbone off the other half but we don't as it helps hold the shape of the fish in the smoker and the suck pentrates through it anyone into the other fillet. You can simply lift that out anyway once it's smoked. It comes away really easy. Much quicker way to deal with lots of fish if you have a bunch to smoke. You can also hang them to smoke this way by putting a wire through both wings and slipping a rod through them.

[@birddogdoc]

I really enjoy your videos! Makes using my Little Chief simple and delicious.

[@Top-Jimmy]

Very good, Thank you!! Skorp - Western Australia.

[@stevengould9404]

Sir... you are awesome!!! You remind me of my Pops (God rest him) - so informative and easygoing. I love your salmon videos equally, god bless you!

[@onemadmudder9686]

Thank you for sharing this knowledge! I’m wondering what flavour wood you use for smoking fish plz? Apple? Hickory? I built my custom fridge smoker recently. I have smoked sausages and am busting to try smoking 10lbs of Rainbow Trout! Thanks so much for the hint on adding teriyaki sauce to the honey.

[@kimborland7961]

Omg thats looks great I want some smoked trout so bad

[@jdoutdoors1895]

Very informative video thanks for making it !!

[@donnie-sherrieclinton9457]

Great Video! Thank You!

[@brittanyharrison5165]

Awesome video, thanks!

[@stevetautog880]

Sir, thank you s much for the education I have a question, I have watched other Videos regarding the dry curing period, and I noticed that you used 4 to 1 ratio sugar to salt, whereas other people have used a 1 to 1 ratio that is a very big difference, do you have any insights about how the cure will still be effective and safe whatever the ratio? thank you

[@williamkrejca4641]

I use 8/1, I have found the results to be too salty otherwise. Smoke until meat reaches temp of 160 degrees.

[@mewzishun]

Thank you for the great information. Just to clarify: Using the dry-brine method, Do you rinse and air-dry the fish after it comes out of the brine? Or does it go straight from the brine to the smoker?

[@geebee3d]

Tim Snyder Rinse and air dry. Do this no matter which method of brining you use.

[@stephen4336]

how do you know how long to smoke or how many hours to how much pounds or just how will I know when it's done? love the video really gonna try it this weekend

[@richmartinez96]

Great info

[@gordonholland2374]

Excellent video, and so detailed. One question: why didn’t you go ahead a skin the fish for maximum brine penetration?

[@haydenfisher9299]

Gordon Holland it will fall apart in the smoker

[@freesteez3]

It will not fall apart in the smoker if you do dry brine which dries the fish and makes it firm.

[@Fishhunter2014]

I think your buddy wants a handout!

[@stephanievargas8645]

Great video

[@coreykolenosky5974]

Looks good. Where did you get the knife?

[@bluegill2030]

How many pounds of fish will the dry cure mixture cover? 3-4 trout 12-14"?? 5-6 trout 10-12"????

[@TheSteves75]

A few pounds. You generally just cover the bottom to when you see no glass showing. Then single layer of fish. Cover until you cant see the fish. When the dish is full cover put in the fridge 3 or so hours. Mix it all up with your hands it will be mostly liquid. Put it back in fridge over night. Good to go. Almost impossible to screw it up. I always do a 4 to 1 mix 4 cups sugar one cup of salt non iodized.

[@brianwest1723]

oh yeah!! looks good!!

[@stephen4336]

how do you know how long to smoke or how many hours to how much pounds or just how will I know when it's done

[@TEarp-cl9hd]

Never tried fish prepaired like this before. please excuse my stupid questions. But will your recipe make the trout really salty?

[@craigdundas8721]

awesome thx brotha

[@chriswilson6858]

[@crazypeoplearoundtheworld304]

[@jefflamotte6833]

Have you ever smoked northern pike?

[@zellerized]

[@sonastainbrook]

How much Brown sugar to salt ratio?

[@sonastainbrook]

2 cups brown to 1/2 cup salt? Great video! I am really looking forward to smoking some salmon soon. Thank you sir!

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

what temp is the smoker

[@hankwhitley222]

Scottys Back Yard BBQ 165°

[@cashus68]

He said saw dust ?? I am on ten acres can i use saw dust from my alder and so forth trees ?

[@2guitarme]

I just did this brine on some trout fillets yesterday. I used 1/2 salt to 2 cups brown sugar. Brined them for 14 hours. Smoked them and just tried them today. Taste is good, but both to salty and too sweet. The fillets are not very thick. May 1/2 to 3/4 in at the thickest part. I rinsed them by hand and made sure there were no salt or sugar crystals any where on the fillets. I'm surprised at how salty and sweet they were. Did I not rinse them long enough? I know I used 2 cups of sugar, but I am not positive that I only used 1/2 cup salt. (could have been one cup. My memory...) Any idea what I did wrong? My friend smokes trout all the time and gives it to me. He uses a packaged liquid brine. His trout is flavorful, not too salty or sweet.

[@ianwagner4186]

Maybe you use regular salt you need pickling salt I use a 6-1 ratio for my brine never to salty

[@2guitarme]

@@ianwagner4186 Thanks for the comment. I used Kosher salt. I think pickling salt is about the same. I believe that the issues is the time in the brine. The fillets were thin. .325 to .5 inch at the thickest point, and see through on the thinnest. 14 hours was too long. I'll try 8 hours next time.

[@freesteez3]

You could cut down the brine time as I have noticed that makes them less salty. Also in this video he doesn't even rinse them or say to risne them. Which is an important step huh?

[@stevetautog880]

I forgot to state that I am asking you this in relation to cold smoking , not hot

[@glenking3337]

I trust him, cause he's fat like me. He knows good food!

Nice cookies over night leaving ok

[@conkshell9445]

I would like to have seen the loading, lighting, and operation of the "Big Chief" ..with smoke billowing (gently) ….disapointing

[@rogermcm1]

We like our tapeworm infested trout to be cooked nailed to a board and thrown into a fire, and after the fire goes out we eat what's left of the board.

[@theunluckyfisherman4845]

roger mcmillen wtf are you talking about

[@ahernandez1080]

TheUnluckyFisherman at 1:40 The guts are full of tape worms

[@victoriasnaturalway1041]

lol, those aren't tapeworms... those are called pyloric caecae. Youll find usually the common parasite in the intestines called Cestode.

[@Broxty]

roger mcmillen You're clueless.

[@dropkick4440]

Bruh we get fined or imprisoned for trout that size😳

[@theeidram4152]

I tried this it came out WAY TOO SALTY. If I do this again I will use less salt. If this didn't work I will wash it off and pat the fish dry then smoke it.

[@sammitchell9540]

Why is that trouts meat white all the ones iv seen are pink

[@abcxyz9643]

The same reason you are probably used to seeing uber bright red salmon meat. Farmed fish are fed red pigmented feed which colors their flesh tones of red. Wild caught of bought species are far less red in color; what they lack in color though, they make up for three fold in flavor and nutrition.

[@georgekrug2071]

I make smoked TROUT Jerky and is the best ever DONE !!! And my TROUT are red meat like SOCKEYE SALMON SELL IT AT WORK AND CATCH IT MYSELF WITH MY SON TREVOR He is rhe KING FISHERMAN!!!!!! NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TROUT KILLAZ 🤠

[@HotDogBunN2YG]

its hard to find good trout around here. theyre all pellet fed, stocked, mushy, trash fish.

[@balentincamargo5248]

Skin on or off

[@techgeek1162]

Smoking taste great. I did couple of times mouth watering . here are the cons though : (a) When you cure with lot of salt you ingest lot of sodium which is injurious for health. Raise bp and heart disease. (b) regularly eating smoked food is highly carcinogenic might cause cancer in long run.

[@slavapal00za]

Yeah, no kidding. Thanks Buzz Killington. Fun fact, did you know that no matter what you do, you’re still gonna die? Might as well enjoy what you like!

[@bobbydixon4484]

if you are being active or working out like humans should, no problem with salt intake.
