Getting smoked!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

After getting smoked by yellowtail, it's nice to return the favor.

After the neighbors are styled out and you can't even look at another piece of hamachi, I usually smoke the leftovers. Time is not something I have alot of so, I've evolved the smoking process down to a few hours.

Take all your leftover bits and cut them into small pieces. The smaller the better, more surface area means faster smoking. In a large ziplock, pour in a small bottle your favorite terriaki. Add enough water till all pieces are submerged, add a cup or two of brown sugar and mix in the bag. Add any additional spice you might want. I put a little bit of red pepper and sesame seeds. Let it soak in the fridge for 1+ hours and then put em on the smoker. This batch was done in 2 hours. I added so much brown sugar that the brine was almost like cold maple syrup...which gives a killer caramel taste in the end.

good luck out there.
