Chef Lee’s Smokefish Marinade

We do enjoy our seafood on the Outer Banks!

Applicable to Tuna, Shad, Mackeral, Bluefish or Sea Scallops

1 tsp Olive Oil      2 cups Soy Sauce    1/2 lb Dark Brown Sugar   

2 TBSP Kosher Salt     1 cup Cold Water   1 Lemon   1 Lime 

1/2 tsp Granulated Garlic   1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper  1/4 Cinnamon

2 lb Fish

Mix all ingredients well.  Add fish and cover.  Let marinate for two hours.  Drain well and place on rack.  Smoke for four hours according to manufacturer’s specifications for the smoke house.  Rotate racks to give even smoking and cooking to fish.  Let cool overnight or for four hours.  Slice and serve, or serve hot fresh out of the smoke house.  Finish cooking in 250 degrees oven if fish is thick.
