@nolaegghead, when you say steelhead, is this a Pacific Northwest steelhead (like salmon except spawns several times) or is it rainbow trout?Different parts of the country have different names for what is often the same fish, just curious.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

As I remember steelhead is rainbow that has spent time in salt water and returns to fresh to spawn.

I believe that's called anadromous. Since I'm being pompous today anyway, might as well live the dream. And they have red flesh because they eat food with astaxanthin - for example, crustaceans such as shrimp and krill.

Bresaola - started with a 5.3lb top round. Removed every trace of fat and membrane. Made a rub, applied half of it, saved the other half for after the first 7 day dry cure. I used a foodsaver bag to keep the meat in contact with the dry rub. A lot of water will come out - probably lose 1/3 of the weight in water when it's said and done.
last pic is just last nights cook. Seared two filets.

Our steelhead are running late this year, my Taiwanese buddy is heading out next week to wade in the cold water and bring home more than he can eat, I hope. Average is about 6 pounds, but they can hit as much as 30 - big fish. Years ago, fished in Spence's Bridge BC, close to where the Thompson and Fraser Rivers meet, Thompson River steels - best there is.Enjoy your fish!Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Nice nola...the bresaola from that book is so good...I'll be doing another one soon so is ready for the holidays. I picked up duck breast for prosciutto and a piece of pork belly for pancetta today...
-
Are the 30 pounders good to eat? They must make good steaks.
The steelhead looses so much moisture in the cure - there's at least a cup of free-water in the pan. I've only done cold smoked fish once before.

The duck breast was $14/lb. I think I'm just going to buy a whole duck next time. I bought it along with fig preserves to do C-Ts smoked duck breast appetizer, but I just got my instacure #2 last week and I'm on another curing streak, so I'll have to postpone the smoked duck thang.

Well, if the more you pay, the better it tastes is true, the duck prosciutto should be out-of-this-world. Yeah, I still want to smoke one and do C-Ts thing. I'll have some left over duck dark meat buyin' whole ducks, but I suppose that's perfect for making some duck confit.

Alright folks. Smoked the steelhead trout last night and ate it for lunch (along with a few other people in my office). Came out better than any cold-smoked fish I've ever bought before (of course, that's in my opinion).
Still have half left for later.
The little white things in the smoker in front of the trout are duck prosciutto in cheesecloth. Thought they might benefit from a little smoke.
Smoke is cherry/apple. Smoked for 6 hours. Temp of fish never exceeded 64F (I checked a few times). If the temp goes above 90F, it totally destroys the texture.

Dude, that looks really good....nice work!

Here in Michigan we get fresh Steelhead that run from The Big Lake. I skin them and put on direct with BBQ sauce and crisp the outside, do the same with salmon...mmmPure MichiganGrand Rapids, Michigan LBGE, SBGE

Just now saw the bit about the duck being smoked in there too.....with the smoke, you're getting away from prosciutto and into speck territory, but speck is loaded with juniper berries in the cure too. I'm interested in how this turns out....I have 4 breasts that I'm gonna start curing later today and if the smoke works, I might do it on two of them.

Allright @nolaegghead - you're just showing off now and trying to make the rest of us look bad.
Nice job on everything you did there.
