6 catfish for the smoker/smoked

[74MOPAR]

We only ended up with 6 catfish on noodles tonight but lunch tomorrow with the family is going to be awesome.smoked catfish tacos. By the way they preferred strawberry kool aid chicken over grape 5 - 1. No fish on the garlic hot dogs.

How do you season your catfish for smoking? I've thought about trying this myself but haven't yet

Normally just season salt and Cajun seasoning. Not sure if we ever do the same thing twice lol

That's how most of my cooking goes. Just wing it and probably never replicate it exactly. I have a few key ingredients I work with but never exact science

when you smoke fish do you have a problem afterward with the smoker getting fishy and other stuff you smoke at a later date tasting fishy. Have always wanted to try it in my electric smoker but was concerned about the fishy residue taste.

Thanks. I was always hesitant to do fish in the smoker. Will have to try it now.

I usually brine with brown sugar and salt for a few hours before smoking catfish. Even made catfish jerky before. My wife makes fish dip with the smoked catfish
