A place to discuss aquaponics

Turned one of the smaller smoked fish into a dip. One trout, one small onion, a couple of dollops of cream cheese, lemon juice, chives and salt and pepper. Wizzed up and onto crackers, and is good.

Thats a dam good idea mate

Nice work Mantis,
I need some tips on smoking,
I bought some smoked trout from Buxton Trout Farm a few weeks back it was awesome,
we all rated it above Tassell's smoked salmon If only I could get results like that
Has anyone used a Bradley Smoker ? Are they worth it ?

Todays lucky dip, unlucky for some

What a sensational harvest, Matthew! Well done!
Do you have any left?

The "bradley" is supposed to be the bees knees...

Thanks PLJ , we've had a few feeds since early Aug. tucked a few in the freezer and by my count should be another 70 swimming around

Cheers Rupert, they seem to be the beez neez especially the digital controlled version . Would like to hear from someone with first hand knowledge ??

Hey Muz- nice haul in your photo 5 fish up on the right hand side...looks a bit wrong... I had 1 also , looks like he had run into truck... Marc had a "severe" case aswell . A breeding mutant you think ?

Cheers

Nice work Mantis - I think Nocky put up a smoked trout dip recipe a couple of years back - we had a tasting one night of several different recipes and he put the winner in his thread. I'll have a dig around if I get the time later today.

Nice harvest Matthew - how'd they taste ?

A Bradley is on my wish list for some point in the next few months

Awesome harvest Mathew. I wish I had put a few more in this year. Makes it hard feeding the tiddlers (Silvers) when you have trout this size.

I think my fish had a severe case of obesity. They have been on a diet since and are now more streamlined and less fat in the gut.

Feeding time requires a raincoat though as they compete for the food.

What sort of smoker do you use?

Haven't heard anyone on the forum mention having one Matthew... but a bloke up at Robertson who used to run trout.. had one.. and swore by it...

For those interested... http://www.survivalarms.com.au/componen ... /vmcchk,1/

You guys are growing a serious amount of fish!

Another awesome harvest there Matthew.

That smoker looks like a serious piece of gear. You would need a transformer to run it though. It 120v. Until they announce the 240v one that is...

The 240v model is available I believe... and the one the bloke in Robertson had.... was supplied with a 240v transformer pack...

Just a cheapee metho feuled just big enuff for a couple , that you find at the chain fishing and camping shop



Only 89 more shopping days left before Xmas ,
I'm pretty keen , can be used for drying , have plenty of fruit etc , hot and cold smokin' got a few fish to try and i want to have a go at lamb ham , few of them running around the paddock... nearly convinced myself mmm
Xmas may just come early for me

They are available locally I just presumed they're 240 I'm sure they would be...

Cheers

If they are available locally you would assume they are 240v or come with a transformer.

Ill just add it to the 'one day' list...

Thanks Mathew, I think I have the same one. Does the job - just
Beats the old 20l drum I had
