This brings back memories, my father worked in the UK in the 60's and on a trip to Sweden he saw these Scandinavian portable smoke boxes, bought one and brought it back to Australia in 1969. We used to fish for trout in Eucumbene and Dartmouth dams in the 70's and we could cook fish on the side of the lake.

Hi, Briggsy. Your great light-tackle session in the surf brought back many memories of similar outings I I made over the years along the coast of my native Rhode Island. As for the smoking, I've been using an electric smoker for my fish for decades, and it IS a fantastic way to add wonderful flavors to what we catch. You asked for some input on the process, and although I'm certainly no expert, here are two thoughts: First, I'm not at all surprised that you and your family liked the taylor more than the bream. That's almost certainly because of the taylor's far higher fat/oil content, which makes it close to ideal for smoking. Ditto fish like mackerel (all species), bonito, tuna, and salmon. Second, your instinct about lining the smoker trays to reduce the mess is spot on. I use a layer of HEAVY-DUTY aluminum foil and replace it often. The other surface you need to deal with is the INSIDE of the smoker lid. On my unit, it collects burnt salty, sugary condensation that needs to be cleaned off after every session. Otherwise, it drips down onto my next batch of fish, creating ugly spots and horrible flavors on the surface of the fillets! Keep 'em comin', Chris (Maine, USA)

Hey Briggsy, Smoked tailor is hard to beat. I usually brine mine for a bit in salt and brown sugar water - about 50 50 mix as a base, then add stuff you like to the brine, like your aromatics, and other sauces. Once brined for a while, I pat dry and lightly drizzle honey (or blend smoked honey) and fresh cracked pepper. As for the smoke, I love using banksia pods as they're usually around the same places I catch tailor and it goes really well. I vac seal mine, refrigerate, then have on Jatz and its bloody killer. I know you can also flake it up, chop some chives and mix it in a cream cheese to make dip

[@Briggsy]

Great tips mate! The Banksia pods idea is really cool, do you use the old dried ones with no fluff and crush them up? Or is it you strip the full fluffy ones and it's the fluff itself you're using?

[@DamienRynja]

@Briggsy Sport Fishing hey mate yeah definitely the dry ones picked up off the ground. I use a charcoal smoker so I just throw them in whole, but I think smashing 'em up a bit in your style smoker will get the job done.

[@dr_jones]

Excellent recipe thanks Damien. Pleasure to watch the video Briggsy PS that is Lemon Verbena you used. Lemon Balm (Melissa) looks like a golf ball sized mint/nettle leaf. I like salt honey and keffir lime leaf with a little chilli, fresh lime to serve. Keep up the great work!

[@touchofgrey5372]

What a beautiful beach; the water is crystal clear... please, keep it that way!

[@corriehendrickson604]

I love it when your kids make an appearance. They are so cool.

[@bentea4776]

The tailor is better smoked because of the oil same with any of the stronger tasting pelagics like mackerel, tuna or mahi. You need the salt to cure it and draw the moisture out but its easy to go to heavy on the salt so be careful ( the longer you leave it in the brine the saltier it tastes). I usually go twice as much sugar to salt and it usually turns out great. Awesome vid as usual keep up the good work!

[@keithprinn720]

add vinegar and lime or lemon to partly took it before smoking or just have it ceviche style

[@CaptainGrack]

when i worked in a restaurant back in the day, smoked bluey was one of our best appetizers, my one tip for you, season the skin side heavilt with the flavor you want and put it skin side down

[@childowar]

The reason the tailor tastes better is because it's a "gamier" fish, like the Aussie salmon or Kahawai over here in NZ. We mainly smoke kahawai because people can't handle the natural taste. I'll eat it any time, place, or however it's prepared cause that's what we grew up on. You might find the "softer" fish like Bream, Flatty, and perhaps Dart won't smoke up so well, though don't quote me as I've never tried Dart. Beautiful weather and water, and it's great to see the family enjoying the spoils. Might be time for another family fishing session video! 😁🤙🏼🎣

[@rogerwilliams8582]

Hey Brigs huge fan of your channel. The way we smoke fish down in South Africa is just by putting salt all over the fish then let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes then wash the salt of and dry the fish and pop it in the smoker as is. Also what we normally do with the smoke chips is to wet it a bit that way it doesn't burn and still get a good amount of smoke on your fish.

[@dheepchandmanilal8931]

[@vitaly6312]

Hey brotha. A few tips from an old smoker. Feel free to leave them or take them or play around. First, I definitely like to brine my fish in some sort of salt/sugar based solution. I think in your case the teriyaki would be a perfect addition to a brine. The next is probably the most important-whatever you put in the smoker should be dry. So if you marinade it or brine it, let the fish hang out in the fridge on a wire rack for a few hours, or use a towel to pat it dry. The last one may be more of a preference, but whole fish tend to yield more. It’s less work and the skin peels back easily. I noticed you left a few collars oj those beautiful fish and sometimes that’s the best part. Also - now that you have a smoker, make bacon! Half salt half brown sugar mixture, rub it on a pork belly and let it sit for 4-5 days, wash it off after then and dry the pork belly (preferably overnight on a wire rack in the fridge). Then you can smoke it for like 2-4 hours depending on the temp. Enjoy it my friend. You’re a walking KZbin ad for visiting Australia.

[@anthonystark5412]

When you had that first cast, I remembered a really good fight I had after fluffing a big cast with a long rod. My timing on my index finger wasn't great on that cast. I released too early, and my bait and sinker shot almost straight up, spinning around awkwardly before plopping down just on the other side of the shelf. I didn't even have time to think of excuses for my pathetic casting, because it was nailed almost immediately by a feisty creature that weighed close to 5 Kilograms. That was a Tailor, although we call them Elf or Shad in my neck of the woods. Seeing you hook that first Tailor prompted me to write this. What a great memory. Thanks!

[@rossvickers4235]

Been watching you for years and loving how wholesome this vid is Briggsy!! Love it and keep it up man!

[@steviefordranger198]

wonderful! A little hint if you like lemon balm is to get some lemon basil. A prolific grower and it should self seed in your garden. I was so relieved when you said cold sinks when moving the ice brick to the top of the fish. I have seen a few fish go off in an esky (chully bun in Kiwi) when fish were put on top of the ice bricks. Cold air sure does sink and remember cold cannot travel, only heat can. Cold is the absence of molecules vibrating or transmitting their state whereas heated mass has rapidly moving molecules which travel to cooler areas speeding up their molecule's movement.

[@evelynoclaret4689]

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

The esky/cooler is critical gear, worth carrying most of the time. Throw the backpack on top to protect it from direct sunlight and help preserve the ice. 💯%, SMOKE THE TUNA, Briggsy. Back in the day, Hawaiians only had fire and wood to cook with. Today, poke (po-kay) bowls are all the rage but smoked/grilled ahi will always be part of the arsenal. 🤙

Fantastic vid to wake up to! Stirring up strong emotions about being land locked in B.C., and memories of stalking the banks in Kauai and whipping yozuris and rapalas into the gutters. I was chuckling at your epiphany regarding bringing ice! It’s refreshing to hear someone of your experience and passion reveal that they’re discovering new things hidden right under our noses. I’m not sure if you’ve slept on the eskie and ice factor due to wanting to stay ninja mobile, which I respect and know. But having it made for better tasting fish in the islands, cause I’d be staying all morning/afternoon, paddling out to surf, etc. I love the beach shots, and was trying to figure out where in Oz this is, using only my memories from thousands of surf pics from over the decades. Looks like it might be a good surf spot on its day. Can’t tell where, so I’ll be looking it up in your profile and possible descriptions. Cheers from Nelso, BC
