2. Place fish in brine for 15 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness of the fish.
3. Prepare smoker. the woods to use would be fruitwoods, or alder. mesquite and hickory are too stong.
4. Rinse fish, and place on well oiled rack, or oiled pan and brush some olive oil on fish, both sides.
5. If fish has skin, place skin side down.
6. Start smoker at 150°. After the first 2 hours increase heat to 200° You will want to cook 3 hrs 30 minutes per pound
