How To Smoke Your Catfish
Summer is almost here and we will fire our grills soon. This is how to smoke your catfish yourself.
Tips
1. It’s best to use fresh catfish for making dried fish. The choice of fish is quite diverse; you could use mackerel or herring too
2. Smoking your fish requires very little heat about 250°F. More of the smoke is required than the fire. So important to keep the fire small, so the fish doesn’t get burnt.
