Smoked Spotted Bass and Walleye (pron)

Smoke® · Jul 22, 2014

I caught these at Carters lake in North GA. If I had thought I was going to smoke them I’d have left the skin on one side I made a brine of filtered water, salt, and brown sugar and left them there for 4 hours in the fridge. I let them air dry and started the smoke at 150° for two hours with seasoned pecan and then increased the heat to 215° until the large walleye fillet reached an IT of 165°. We had quinoa and green peas with roasted carrots and beets added plus coleslaw.

Wow! I like walleye so much that I'll actually order it at the one restaurant in the Minneapolis airport that serves it...freshness be damned. No walleye here in Arizona. Dagnabit!

And I'd hit that quinoa salad in a heartbeat!

You seem to be a person that knows good fish! I agree the walleye is some of the best fresh water fish swimming.

Best answer is I like it! We have fish twice a week and I like to change it up occasionally. I like it blackened, grilled, golden fried, broiled, baked and smoked. I haven't thought about it but why not smoke walleye?

Amazing. Both the meal, and that there are Walleye in Jaawja.
How deep were you fishing 30-40 ft?
That's where they are here outside of D.C.

Lake Blue Ridge and Carters Lake in GA have a good walleye population. They're both deep clear mountain lakes. We got mountains too!
I usually catch them at day light on deep running jerk baits on long main lake points.
