For those of you that have access to a smoker this one is hard to beat. Ask the captain to fillet the pin bones out of the fish for you and chunck the fillets for smoking. Take a glass 9x13 or similar and line the dish with the fillet chunks. Then in a glass mixing bowl, mix 2 quarts water, 1/2 cup kosher salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup soy sauce. Whip with a wisk to make sure everything is disolved. Pour mixture over fish and cover and refrigerate. at 12 hours or so, flip the fillet chunks to make sure they brine evenly. After 24 hours or longer, remove the fish from the brine and discard the brine. Rinse the chunks with cold water and pat dry or air dry. Place the chunks on the racks of the smoker and coat in any or all of the following spices, lemon pepper, cajun, black pepper, garlic etc. I prefer garlic and black pepper together, Lemon pepper with garlic, and cajun and black pepper. Coat heavily on one side and place into smoker. I have an electic smoker so product is suppose to be dry when placed in to cook. I cook at 225 for 2 hours. Everyone that has had it loves it.
