Smoked Permit

Uncle Phil

My friend, Conner brought me some fresh Permit that he speared yesterday in about 80 feet of water. I have never smoked fish on the Egg, so it was time to give it a shot. The Egg was setup indirect heat with an inverted plate setter. I used apple, cherry and elder woods for the smoke. We first used a Mediterranean brine for about 45 minutes prior to smoking. The fish smoked for a little over two hours. Really came out great.

Here are a few shots.

Just looked up the species ... looks a lot like Tuna ... please let us know what Permit tastes like?

None of the links for the pix works, perhaps you could try again ...

Hi Squeezy,

It is a mild yet firm fish. Has a bit of a wild taste to it. Smoked is awesome. I don't know what I did wrong on the pics. I have not posted in a while. Maybe someone would be kind enough to fix or advise what I need to do.

I'd sure like to taste that one ... not much out of the sea that I don't like ...

What temp did you use?

Just revisited the pix and they worked this time ... looks really good!

You mentioned a bit of a wild taste ... as say opposed to a tame taste

Tells us about the marinade. What was internal temp?

I've never heard of a fish called "permit"; I was afraid you had to buy a license to use your Egg in your locale!

I know permit as a fish but I was thinking the same after reading the title.  lol
