Smoked Bass

I smoked some bass today! But you can smoke anything you want! He He!  
I enjoy any kind of fish smoked. My favorite is a whitefish..It's what I grew up on. 

Every Sundays we would drive from Erie, PA to Westfield, NY  to  grandma's for Sugo, Sugo is the Italian word for any kind of sauce in our family.  All the Aunts, Uncles and cousins would be there to enjoy the pasta.  My mom would make a few stops on the way.  The 1st STOP was  Arnone's Bakery & Italian Deli  (no website found) Just this video

for the fresh Italian bread and peperoni balls. I don't think you can find a peperoni or fish ball any place but Erie,PA (I've never seen them)

Mom would  toss a peperoni balls back to my sisters and I.  The fresh warm fried dough ball stuffed w/ peperoni or anchovies.   I remember those Sundays as though it was yesterday.  
The next STOP was for fresh farm eggs..We would want a dozen of the double yokes.
Ahhh then,  the last stop before Grams was, and not every Sunday, maybe once a month or so  in Westfield, NY near grams the  Barcelona Harbor on Lake Erie for the smoked fish. That is where my appreciation began for smoked fish and foods. I look back at moments like this and see my appreciation for food started at a young age.

That little smoke shack, with all the fish hanging.. I remember mom would let us pick the fish. I wonder if that shack is still there. I will have to see the next time I go home. I  remember like I was there last Sunday. THX Mom 

 Fish Brine Solution - You can use just about anything you like. rules, what rules, there are NO Rules on what should go into the brine other than definitely salt and some sugar. I use what ever I have on hand.. Just brine your fish, this is an important step for smoking fish, it cures and keeps the fish moist, so the fish is not to dry.. Got to love the work MOIST. I brined my fish over night. But a few hrs will be just fine.

 1 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup Non-iodized salt
 2   cups soy sauce/optional use broth
1/2 tsp. Onion powder
1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Pepper
1/2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
1 cup dry white wine

*Rinse fish with cold running water after curing to remove the excess salt and other seasonings from the surface , allow fish to air dry before putting on smoker. 

OOPS!!! I almost forgot, I stuffed my fish with apple and onion slices..YOU can too.

               Smoking Process:

Start the smoking process by soaking  wood chips. I used apple wood chips I get from CA.    Apple Hill  near Placerville, CA Got to love Apple Hill in Sept.

Smoke filets or whole fish  in a steam / smoker for 1 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the fish flakes. I smoked this 2.5lb for 4hrs.

I always spray my racks with Pam. Set the rack with the fish filets above the smoking wood chips (follow your smoker directions). My smoker I put a water bowl on top of the charcoals, I put water wine and spices in the water.. The water slows the cooking process down and lowers the temp. so it's a low heat/slow smoke.

Smoke 2 to 3 hours, depends on the thickness of the filets. reheat your smoker w/ a slow, smoldering fire, make sure you have enough charcoal in your smoker if you are using a charcoal smoker, you don't want to run out of charcoal 1/2 way through smoking as I have done before. I add the chips directly on charcoal..don't be skimpy on the wood chips. Use just enough wood to maintain a steady smoke. I love the pleasant mild smoky flavor, I read that to much smoke will cause the fish to taste bitter. (has not happened yet).

Embellished Ceilings, Vintage Among Top Home Trends for 2011
December 20, 2010 by Melissa Tracey ·

REALTOR® Magazine



Embellished ceiling So what does 2011 hold for home decor? Expect lots of 2011 forecasts in the coming weeks. Here are highlights from a recent article in which design experts chime in what they expect to see popular in home design in the New Year.

1. Old is ‘New’

Vintage is to be hot in 2011. Period pieces that are re purposed or home furnishings reproduced from the 1950s, ‘60s, or ’70s will get new life again. For example, one design expert predicts more furniture styles inspired from the ‘50s and ‘60s with round tapered legs, geometric accents and seating with curved backs.

2. Bold colors

Aqua and green colors will continue to reign in the New Year. Subdued hues such as sage green, barn red, and mocha brown are also expected to increase in popularity.

3. Energy efficient lighting

The eco-friendly choice of LED will continue to increase in popularity in lighting choices, such as with LED under-cabinet systems and landscape products. Also, expect bold lighting touches in unexpected places, such as chandeliers hanging in the bathroom or closet.

4. Embellished ceilings

The ceiling will be made to be noticed in 2011, becoming more of a focal point in a space. Expect more ceilings to be painted–even in metallic colors–or architecturally enhanced and with chandeliers hanging from it.
