REALLY good Fish Filet!!!!!!

Sounds great. I don't remember anyone smoking Scamp Filet on one of these posts. I'll keep my eye open since I don't even believe I've seen it for sale around here. The wife thinks we should do more chicken, turkey, and salmon (as well as other fishies) to improve our diet.

Pags,

The only places that I know that you can get Scamp is Gulf of Mexico. I found out about Scamp a long time ago during my rabid scuba diving/spearfishing endeavors in the Gulf. Typically we only saw these fish in very clear water at over 100 feet where the depths were upwards of 200 or more. We usually were diving the oil production platforms. It was the top fish we sought, going down the list in order Scamp, Grouper, Snapper, Cobia/lemon fish, Trigger fish, Amberjack.... Occaisionally we found lobster there.

I have not had the pleasure of trying some of the local fish available go you in California. But I bet some of the cold water varieties available there would be really tasty. I try to get a really fresh skin on filet that is about an inch or so thick. I have smoked a LOT of fish in the past with a generic can/water (Brinkman type/R2D2 looking) smoker. So it's a LOT easier with the CS Amerique!

sounds great Mike, thanks for sharing.

Thanks TN Q, I am looking forward to trying your Salmon recipe. I had to come into the lab this morning an thought I would run by SAM's on the way home to pickup some ribs and a couple of salmon filets to try your recipe on...
