smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jeepster]

the average fish isnt big enough for the salt to pervade too much, what about smoked salmon? if you forget the farmed sh1te, thats a good example of a river caught fish, served raw.

Salmon are a saltwater fish migrating into freshwater - after more than a week or so in freshwater the fish is stale and not considered good eating.

 

The farmed sh1te is taken straight from the tidal area of a loch, i.e. salt water.

 

In fact, the smaller the fish the more the salt will ingress in the same amount of time.

Meths from a DIY store is very expensive because you can only buy small bottles. If you go to an agricultural store (like Scats in Hampshire) you can buy gallon cans at about half the price. If you use the smoker a lot you'll get through quite a lot of meths. You can get a lot of smoker kit and brine mixes mail order from Askari, very reasonable.
