What kind of wood to use to smoke catfish?

J jrosenfMember
I'm planning on smoking some catfish filets that I'll spice with a cajun-themed rub tomorrow night. The recipe calls for pecan as the wood of choice but since I don't have any, I was wondering what you all would recommend. (I have alder, apple, cherry, hickory and mesquite.)

I've searched the archives and haven't found any mention of using alder with catfish. Would it be the best choice or would you recommend one of the others?

Thanks!

Sutter Home and Hearth in Woodinville sells every kind of wood you can think of. About $6 a bag that'll last about 20 smoking sessions.
