Apple Smoked Mackerel in a kettle BBQ

Smoking fish is a traditional means of preserving food. Not something we rely on quite so much in this age but smoked food just also happens to be delicious.
Using some apple wood chips and charcoal, I smoke some fresh mackerel fillets. My biggest dilemma is waiting for the fish to be cold, leaving them overnight in a fridge the flavours develop and mature but they taste so good they typically don't hang around that long.

[@strunerfc7182]

Ook yea looks good wil try it

[@clskez]

I have some beechwood and jack daniels chips would these go well with it? Where do you get you chips from?

[@DoctorMeatDic]

I watched this with an eye on the past, smoking the raw fillets on a very basic charcoal grill, wonderful.
But I thought I had clicked on Terminator 5 when that motorised pepper grinder appeared. HASTA LA VISTA BABY.
Still, looks divine, will try once spring arrives!

I am just going to do some mackerel unfortunately the weather is dire and I can't use the bbq!

[@daikiryoku]

that bbq gets a lot of use! :)

[@SimpleBBQ]

It does indeed. I believe this Weber to be 10 years old and if it isn\t used 180 times a year, I would be disappointed. Thanks for watching and if you haven't already, please subscribe.

I commend you on the word, "richens".

[@realfacthunt]

Looks delicious, I'll try that. They're very cheap where I live, we call them Saba.

[@SimpleBBQ]

Hi @ +Del *. Where do you live?

[@realfacthunt]

In Thailand, I'm English though. They also call it Saba in Japan. Will definitely try your method this weekend.

Foil. No. Oil fish and grates it doesn't stick.

[@SimpleBBQ]

Smoked mackerel is one of those real pleasures in life! Now that the mackerel are fresh from our seas why not give smoking them a go? Here's how to do it.

They still look raw

[@wsid786]

10 mins is too short. The fish is probably raw. You need at least 20 mins.

[@seamanjive]

Pepper, chilli, olive oil, sugar - have you thought you might like the taste of the fish?
