Thread: Kahawai

Hard to catch fish with a Vac pac Vc

I got kahawai at the Waitaki the other day
filleted, rubbed with brown sugar and sea salt/garlic, marinated in the fridge untill tea time
then wiped off the sludge with a paper towel and grated some more salt and garlic on , just a sprinkle, then smoked in the portable smoker and put a knob of butter on when they were ready.
beauty.

True but to my mind not much point in catching them without one.

Unless of course you can catch a feed litterally whenever you want.
They are so plentiful up here I can catch them pretty much anytime i can get out but best to get 10-20 good ones and smoke em all up at once.

Most kahawai I bring home are chucked in the fishing chest freezer whole to be later minced with fish oil for burly.

Figured it
First there was one,

Then there was two

Then they were prepared to be smoked

Then they were consumed.
