smoked mahi mahi
(1 rating)
I would recommend using a cheaper fish until you get the hang of this. I got my directions on the internet, and this smoking thing is brand new for me. What resulted is a beautifuly done fisn, smokey and reminded me of a very mild kipper, not as strong. I would recommend this as an appetizer course, and think mixed with cream cheese, onions, capers, dill and lemon juice would make a killer spread. This is more a process than a recipe. It would be 3 hours 30 minutes per pound and not 2 like the recipe says, but for some reason I can't edit that.
