I tried my hand at smoking steelhead trout again. I used a homemade seasoning blend with an olive oil base and a hint of garlic. The smoke time was about an hour using apple wood chunks at 180°F to 200°F on my Masterbuilt dual-fuel smoker fueled by Royal Oak lump charcoal. The two smaller pieces marinated overnight, while the large piece only had about 20 minutes.

    I make this about once a week.

    My wife doesn’t really dig on smoked meats, but she loves this.

    My seasoning of choice is Meat Church Texas Sugar.

    Steel head trout is our go to meal. A quick smoke and put over rice. My kids call it Mermaid because we leave the skin on.

    Looks amazing. Dude gave me some smoked steelhead back when I was working in Washington and whatever he did to it was the best fish I’ve ever had.

    Looks really good! What is the final internal temp when you pull it?

    Love smoking steelhead for the holidays. I cut mine into palm-width sized filets. Makes it easier to dry-brine overnight in the fridge. I wash off all my seasoning and let it form a pellicle at room temp for an hour or so before smoking.
