Tulibee

petesMember

My brother is the stereotypical Minnesotan - he lives and breathes fishing. Although it's a ways away, he plans on tulibee (or cisco) fishing next spring and dropping them on my doorstep to have them smoked.

Has anyone smoked these before & can give me an idea of brining and smoking times?

Pete, I smoke fish @ 190 for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Homemade brine with salt and brown sugar overnight. Rinse fish well, air dry and smoke. Open the smokette door a couple times to let moisture escape. Turns out great. I smoke yellowfin tuna and yellowtail this way. Hope the info helps.

You should be able to catch some enormous carp there in the Minnesota River where you live. Have you ever thought about giving them a try? Good luck with your endeavor.

I'll pass on anything caught out of the MN River - I think the fish from it all glow in the dark. However, I hear that smoked bullhead is a delicacy in certain areas around here.

Are you thinking of Waterville, perhaps?
