Ah right, so you cold smoke it and then cook it. Seems way to long a process. hot smoke in 30mins.

Are you suggesting my hot smoker is manky Keith!?

They ALL are Mark once used

I used to pop to the smoke house on the Quay when I was kid to scrounge a herring or mackerel for bait, filthy places.

Very interesting and informative post. What I am interested in is the preserving of fish by smoking rather then the taste.

Does anyone know how long fish keep once smoked? and how they store them when done? I'm assuming cold smoking might be better and wondered if something like an old fridge in an outhouse might be suitable for storage?
