FISH JERKY - DRY SALT METHOD
The Smoker will dry fish just like the Indians did it out in the sun.
Lean fish such as crappies, brook trout, flounder, perch, bluegills and
bass will make the best fish jerky. Fish such as snapper, carp, northern
pike and catfish do not work well.
Clean and fillet fish as soon as possible. Cut the fillets into one quarter
inch thick strips about 4-6" long. Small pan fish (1/4" to 3/8" thick may
not have to be cut). If strips are too thick it will take too long to dry and
there will be a greater chance of spoilage. Dry fish thoroughly.
Place dried fish on pan or glass dish with pickling salt. Use about one
pound salt for four pounds of fish. Spread thin layer of salt in bottom of
pan. Coat each strip with salt and place in pan or glass dish making sure
all filets are covered with salt. Allow fish to cure 46-50 hours. Rinse fish
and clean off all salt and dry each strip with clean towel.
*NOTE
: If using a pan, use only stainless steel or porcelain enamel.
Place fish in Smoker on shelf, oiling the chrome shelf will prevent
sticking. Open top vent wide open and bottom vent to one half. Open to
allow moisture to escape. Turn temperature on smoker to 100-120
degrees F. Leave at this temperature until strips are thoroughly dry (they
will shrink and get somewhat hard).
FISH MUST BE DRIED COMPLETELY TO PREVENT
SPOILAGE!
The drying process will take from 8-12 hours. After drying fish jerky,
place in freezer for 48 hours to kill parasites that may be present. The
jerky may be eaten after smoking, however, it is safer to freeze them
before eating.
To add more flavor to the Fish Jerky, after removing from dry salt, soak
strips in Maple Cure Brine for one hour. Dry with clean towel and place
in smoker as above.
Salmon is also very good for jerky. Cut into 1/4" thick strips and follow
the same curing process except that salmon must be refrigerated while
curing. After 12 hours clean all salt from strips and place in Maple Cure
Brine for 1 hour. Dry with clean towel and place in smoker. Follow same
process as pan fish.
