Preparation

  1. Pat the fillets dry.
  2. In a small bowl mix together the salt, peppers and garlic. Rub mixture all over fish.
  3. Place fillets in a smoker and smoke for 5 hours at low heat.
  4. Just before fish is done, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add lemon juice, Worchestershire sauce, vermouth, crab meat and shrimp. Saute, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add green onions and parsley and mix well.
  5. Pour sauce over fish portions and serve immediately, accompanied by rice, if you wish.
  • Fish may be smoked in advance and refrigerated, covered. When ready to serve, preheat broiler to 400 degrees. Place fillets on a cookie sheet or in a large, flat pan. Prepare butter sauce as above and pour over it. Place pan under broiler just long enough to heat the fish through, 3 to 4 minutes.
