Catfish

You can.

It depends on what kind of product you are seeking.

There should be a number of threads on catfish,under the search feature.

I tend to hot smoke fillets,without brine.

Thanks Tom,

What I'm looking for is smoking the fish for a snack, since there is not allot of fish, I will split them down the middle, brine 1/2 of them and not the other half to see what I get. I will smoke them like I have done in the past, 185 deg. until they flake apart. No big deal if these don't turn, we can catch more this summer.

Right now is a good time to catch catfish, even in Illinois or even further north.
