> One other thing is make sure its smoked well, meaning if it isnt smoked long enough it can be too moist. I wouldnt want anyone to try it and sort of get a soggy smoked fish lol. Nothing "wrong" with it but I think its better eating.
Would you say that this applies to smoked eel as well? It's always quite moist when I buy it and while I love it, now I'm curious if it could be even better.
- justincormack 10y agoif you buy smoked eel whole with skin it is usually better than the packaged skinned one, which can be quite moist. But eels is endangered, and you should generally not get it...
- mercer 10y agoYeah, I know :-/. I don't buy it often for that reason, but sometimes I'm naughty.
- Mendenhall 10y agoIn my experience smoking it longer dries out almost every meat. I notice smoked fish is not like steaks where "well done" "rare" etc are sort of standard. It took me a fair amount of years before I found my fave smoked fish place because of those difference. I think this thread prompted me to buy a smoker and start learning to do it myself.
- mercer 10y agoThat sounds like a great hobby to have :).
