Hot smoked trout for dinner today
Yummo

Tell us about your smoking/smoker. Did you make it yourself? Did you marinate them first? How long did you cook them and at what temp?

Yuuummmm........... Might have to do a trade when I have some Barra ready...........

The "smokers" are just some old stainless steel equipment canisters with a few holes drilled in the bottom.

I used heat beads and wood chips in the bottom. Salted the fish for 20minutes and smoked for about 2 hours.

The fish tasted great, but this lot were a bit salty. I might try a brine solution next time.

LOL, and you use MAPP gas to light it?

Doesn't everybody start their BBQ with MAPP gas ?

i use the rule of reasonable force...............

BBQ- MAPP

Charcoal Spit, when you wake up too late to prepare it - oxy/acetylene

I put some aluminum mesh from an old door, over the yabbie pond to stop dog swimming in it .
Should I be concerned about the aluminum leaching into the water

Nope. Not for a long time anyways.

I'm considering getting some Barra soon.
Anyone in Adelaide interested in sharing an order?

Hi Scott, check if the door is anodised aluminium (I think it is), anodised alu should not leach anything.
Some aluminium is just painted - you would see the paint coming off if you scratch it.

Scott, I'm up for a shared order of Barra.

see my PM

Unfortunately I have 50 or so Silver that need to grow out to table size before I can get any other species. ( also could be a tad cool for barra up my way )

I rang W.B.A hatcheries today.
They have 100mm Barra available.
$1.50 each for 50 fingerlings.

I might drop around tomorrow and see if they will do a better price on a larger quantity. Will also check if they have any larger fingerlings.

At this stage I'm looking at picking up some fish later next week - weather dependent

I have interest from a couple of Adelaide AP's so far.
Anyone else?

Thats a good price for 100mm fish.
