"Where there's smoke, there's flavor. Smoking fish at home may sound too complicated or intimidating, but it’s as simple as grilling. In fact, it’s not even necessary to buy any expensive, bulky specialized equipment—all you need is a charcoal grill and aromatic wood chips. (This recipe calls for apple wood, but you can also use alder, pecan, hickory, maple, oak, cherry, or peach woods, according to availability and your tastes.)

"Our instructions for how to smoke fish guide you every step of the way, from brining to setting up the charcoal grill, preparing the wood chips, and finally smoking the fish. We also provide a step-by-step on how long to smoke a fish, depending on the variety and the cut."
