Mix brine well in a glass, porcelain or plastic container large enough to hold the fish meat and the brine. Chill brine in the refrigerator overnight. 2. The next morning, place the fish in the brine. Set a plate or other heavy object on top of the fish to keep it submerged. Place the container of brine and fish into the refrigerator for 3 hours. 3. Remove the fish, rinse, pat dry, and lay out (skin side down) on cookie sheets or jelly roll pan lined with waxed paper. Discard brine. Place the fish in a dust-free place and allow to dry, uncovered, for about 1-2 hours until a sticky skin ("pellicule") forms on the surface of the meat. 4. Place ⅓ cup of dry wood chips in each of the wood chip bins in roasting pan. Add 1 cup water to pan. Add fish. 5. Turn temperature dial to 225 ºF. Smoke, skin side down on a greased rack in the Smoker Roaster for 2 - 4 hours. The fish should be honey - to molasses-brown and still visibly moist when done. The flesh when finished still has some give to it, like a rare steak, when you press on it with your fingers. Don't smoke it too long or the result will be dry. www.oster.com 25 CKSTROSMK18_12ESM1.indd 24-25 6/11/12 11:10 AM
