Cold Smoked Salmon

Got a nice piece of Salmon from the supermarket, so after the tedious
job of scaling the side... why don't people here do the job before they
sell the fish (I'm happy to prepare fish that I have caught)???



Anyways, put it a dry cure mixture, some coarse salt, sugar and a bit
of black pepper. I will leave this in the fridge overnight, then it's
on to the smoker for at least 8 hours tomorrow.

look forward to it
next week I have time to experiment

Right took the Salmon out of the fridge on Sat morning, rinsed off the salt, let it dry for an hour...


Placed it into the cardboard box smoker (other thread), the haning hooks from my Excel 20 worked great for this.


Got the Cold Smoke Generator started and put it through the flap


The weather was heavy showers/ with high wind (sounds similar to the summer we've just had), so I had to improvise.


A couple of hours in.


10hrs later.


It was really tasty (better than any stuff I've bought)... the money shot!
