Fishie 98 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I was lucky enough to score a bit of sawdust from old oak wine casks from Tyke that Angler's Choice are now selling and tried it out on my smoked snapper. It's the best tasting smoked fish I've had yet... give it a try Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shmick 0 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 That fish sure does look great mate. Do you think the wood still has wine flavor ? ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fishie 98 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 If you stuck your head in the bag of sawdust it smelt just like a winery cellar full of casks. I can't say the smoked fish tasted like wine but there was a very nice flavour about the flesh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pellipeeli11 0 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Gidday 69conroyMate I have used quite a lot of different wood to smoke quite a bit of stuff (Meat/ fish etc ) over the years and i like red gum the best of all .sometimes just a few chips of wood about 50mm long instead of sawdust will give a nice light flavour to thinner fish or meats.Likewise larger chips of gum make great flavour to large cuts of meat :leg lamb,pork,goat,roast beef and especially turkey cooked in my homemade spit / oven,Small bags should be available free from most firewood merchants, mostly I just bring home some dead branches when i go fishing along the river.Cheers peelipeeli 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
