Smoking the fish - a test drive

I've always loved smoked fish, but never really like the loss of control by going over to the Russian deli, or getting the frozen smoked eel from Nordic House. So I headed over to Sun Fat on Mission, picked up some trout and some mackerel and decided to give it a go.

I found a "Smoker" device online for for my weber - it just segregates the coals over to one side and has access ports for pouring in more wood chips. It also has a water receptacle so that you can keep it moist in there and also it helps as a gauge
for the temperature.

Then I prepped the fish (damn bones!)

Put the fish in!

The ideal temp:

It should be done in a couple hours. Maybe less. I'll post again once we've had a chance to taste it! It'll be good with the champagne we're starting tonight with!
