Big Abitibi Nip Combo Trip

[Species8472]

Those babies will be top notch goormet smoked. I had them once and they beat Superior tubalee hands down!

Will let you know shortly. Only cause you posted on my thread from last spring that i even considered trying this. Actually some really good youtube vidoes and brine recipes from chefs in Manitoba where i guess it is more of a thing.

Well the verdict is in. From this:



To this at dinner tonight:



And a fish that every local i spoke to said was garbage was actually delicious. Flavor was just about perfect. Texture wise the thinner sections were good but the thicker pieces were just a bit soft. I am sure with some refinement to my process i can iron out those small texture hiccups.

Planning to head back in a week in half for 2 days to fill a couple 5 gallon pails - should be loads to experiment on and tweak the process.

Well if your interested i am thinking of doing 2 days on Abitibi the weekend of the 31st. Have one other buddy who is tentatively saying he will go as well. Part of the reason i went in there yesterday was so i don't go in blind if bringing others in - never know the condition of the logging road and bush trail year to year. Road was actually better than last year and someone is in the process of cutting the bush back on the sled trail. So access (at least yesterday) is better now than it was last year.

Thanks for the offer Joe, much appreciated, but I am heading for a last sled trip at Madawaska for a few days next week to clear my head from the loss of my best friend.
