You folks smoking 6+ pounds a day

[woodsroad]

Do you still enjoy herring? I find that my taste for herring has diminished somewhat.

Step away from the crack pipe...

Cellar it!
I've smoked 30+ pounds of salmon in a day in the past. Stored it in Mason jars, then put it in the pantry as opposed to the cellar.
I keep my herring in the tins as opposed to moving it into jars. Again, the pantry not the cellar. The cellar is where I store body parts and I'm scared of cross-flavoring if I keep the fish down there also.

My experience with herring was in Amsterdam when it came into legal season in the spring and was available in restaurants and on the street and we enjoyed it for more than several meals. It was fresh and light and perfection. When it's good, it's sublime.

My herring usually remains unaffected until around the 8 to 9 lb mark...then it starts to go along with the rest of my senses.

I don’t smoke herring... just a little pinch between the lip and gum.

Well you can tune a piano, but you can't tune a fish..

 

[mechanic]

Do you eat it out of the jar or use it in other dishes?

I’m so confused. This post makes me nervous.

This thread feels like a red herring.

Here in Texas, it's all about the brisket.
Six pounds in a day is a good warm up exercise...

I tried smoking salmon once, but I could not get it lit.

I love smoked salmon....I just forget which end to puff on

Smoked Lake Trout at Russ Kendall's in Knife River MN, on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Don't forget to grab a sleeve of saltines.

That's the first sentence in this forum with 13 caps, all of them correct. A new record, although a bit of a red herring given the o.p..

Nice catch!

Herring are awesome. They're about to start spawning on the west coast and you guys are getting me fired up. I'll be out there soon yarding 'em in with my throw net and filling my ice chest with grade A+ halibut, rockfish, and lingcod bait as well as keeping enough for at least a half dozen quart jars of pickled fillets. It's one of my favorite winter traditions. Here's a link to the recipe I use. https://www.monkeyfacenews.com/my-blog/2010/12/herring-herring-herring.html

Mortar and pestle it and use it for snuff!
Seriously, herring is good. Smoked herring is good. I even like pickled herring. I draw the line at lutefisk...

Herring in sour cream? Love it.
