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...
