Smoked Fish

Smoked fish makes a wonderful appetizer. These photos show slices of sailfish, but almost any fish can be smoked.

  • 1 pound fish (The fish needs to be extremely cold. Pictured is sailfish, which is a high quality billfish.)
  1. Thinly slice the cold fish and place on smoker rack.
  2. Place wood chips in smoker and place rack on top.
  3. Put Sterno can in mini-saucepan and light then place the saucepan under the smoker. Note, instead of using Sterno, you can place the smoker on a stovetop with a flame or electric heat.
  4. Smoke for 20 minutes. Douse the flame. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Serve either warm or chilled.

The compact-sized Camerons Deluxe Mini Stovetop Smoker is perfect for cruisers with limited space on their boats.
