1qt water
1/2 cups salt
1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp liquid smoke
Clean trout - large fish should be cut in half
lengthwise. Make a brine solution from the water, salt, brown sugar, and liquid
smoke. Place trout in solution and soak 12-16 hours. Fish should be kept cool while soaking. Remove fish from solution
and allow to drain completely. Smoke in a "cold" smoker until golden brown -
6-8 hours.
