Blackened Chinook: Good Vittles! (Smoker of the Year Contest entry)
August 16, 2007
While the identity of this gentleman is going to be withheld for his own protection, I can tell you this: The Smoker of the Year Contest entry came from the American River on a guided fishing trip ran by none other than yours truly (hey, what can I say…dark fish love me!).
Some say that dark kings aren’t worth eating unless you smoke them…hence the term “It will smoke…” But I beg to differ. Next time you throw a blackie in the box, try this recipe out:
BLACKENED CHINOOK
Take the fillets (the softer and whiter the better) and soak them in equal parts soy sauce, Tobasco and cheep beer.
Marinate them overnight
Marinate them another week after that
About the 4th night, add another beer
Next, get a nice cedar board and place it on the grill cook fish on the board
Bury fish in garden
Eat board
