Right now, fish is on my meal plan for meal #2 of the day, which is right around lunch time for me. I've been baking it and taking it into the office, but i have to eat alone in the corner due to the odor. Flounder, Swai are the culprits as of now.
So I loaded up the smoker yesterday to cook up some smoked chicken breasts, and got some salmon for the hubs....and when i was at grocery store, they happen to have some Swai fillets in the seafood display area. They were thawed and pretty meaty guys. So I got 4 and thought hey, i'll try my hand at smoking these guys.
They were fab. I do think it was the cut of them. They held up, didn't break down and were in tact when i pulled them outta the smoker which was even better lol.
Now, I have gotten Swai fillets frozen before and thawed them. But they were small and thin. So would have to smoke them on the rack on some foil.
I put some small, thin flounder fillets on the rack in some foil too.
Also smoked some Barramundi (sp?).
I also smoked some whole onions and sweet potatoes that i stuck in there. Then cut up the onions to add to my meals.
Someone was just at my desk and commented on how it smells good. I may have found a way to mask that fish smell .... YAY! (jury still out so will be asking peeps all week lol).
(keep the fishy comments clean on here guys....LOL...well, that namely goes for FD....hahahha)
