Went on a ling trip last weekend out of N. New Jersey and ended up with a few. Ling does not freeze very well, so Im decided to smoke em whole (minus the guts) Brined them using a commercial brine, and smoked them for four hours with a mix of apple and hickory wood, about two ounces of each.
Those fish were better than I ever could have imagined they would turn out!!! Absolutely fantastic!!!
