BRINED AND SMOKED SMELT



Brined and Smoked Smelt image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

24 smelt, cleaned with head and tails left on
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 garlic clove, halved
1 teaspoon juniper berries
1 teaspoon allspice berries
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 to 3 sprigs fresh dill
1 pound ice

Steps:

  • Rinse the smelt in cool running water. Set aside.
  • Place all of the remaining ingredients, except the ice, into the electric kettle. Bring to a boil. Add the ice and stir until the mixture is cooled. Transfer the liquid to a 1-gallon ziptop bag along with the smelt. Seal and place in a container so that all of the fish are in the brine. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remove the smelt from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Place them onto a paper towel lined sheet pan, layering with paper towels in between if they won't fit in one layer. Allow to dry in the refrigerator overnight.
  • The next day, place the smelt onto racks, belly side down, separating them by at least 1/4-inch and place into a smoker. Turn the smoker on so that it maintains a temperature of 150 to 160 degrees F. Adjust heat as needed and cook for approximately 3 hours or until desired level of doneness.

PAN-FRIED SMELTS



Pan-Fried Smelts image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 21m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds smelts, approximately 12 (6 to 8-inch long) gutted with fins removed
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
Peanut oil

Steps:

  • Rinse the smelts thoroughly and pat dry. Place the bread crumbs, salt and pepper into a large resealable bag and shake to combine. Place the lemon juice into a shallow dish. Dip the smelts into the juice and then place in the bag with the dry mixture and shake until the fish are well coated. You can coat 2 to 3 fish at a time, depending on their size.
  • Place enough peanut oil into a 12-inch cast iron skillet just to cover the bottom of the pan. Place over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the smelts to the pan, 4 to 5 at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side until lightly browned and cooked through.

OUT OF THIS WORLD TURKEY BRINE



Out of this World Turkey Brine image

Best brine for smoked turkey around. This recipe was given to me by my uncle. He is always smoking meat. EDITOR'S NOTE: This recipe uses canning or kosher salt, not table salt. Using table salt in this amount will make the brine too salty.
