It probably is, I went fishing with my mate yesterday for kahawai but only got herrings but we still took them home and smoked them today. they were pretty good.
They often cook it and paint a smokey flavoured sauce crap on b4...
Personally I wouldnt eat that rubbish!!!!
I know wea its been!
Thank you very much, BB...:D:D maybe I should just buy a fillet of fish and smoke it myself...yes?
Most "fresh" hoki you see at the market is 4-10 days on ice by the time you see it.
Cant say iv ever seen it smoked but i dont buy fish from the supermarket.
Its actually pretty good fresh filleted and frozen at sea,even after only 12 hours in ice it is losing its flavor and texture already and starts to become flavorless mush.
Orange roughy on the other hand can sit on deck with a tarp over it for 48 hours and still fillet up like a just landed one.
If your going to buy hoki id recommend frozen at sea skin on portions, only the best firm(fresh) blood spot free fillets get fed to the portioner ;)
You're in the Bay are you not? Go to Tangaroa Seafoods and get something decent. I think they are still open.
Thank you, Guys...I shall do that...
Had smoked marlin on sandwiches for 3 days now think theres one feed left:)
Eating its only half the fun!!:thumbsup:
Bay packers at the mount have real fresh and cheap fish
hoki, you can actually eat hoki!! I thought they made burley outa it :D.
Where are ya based EBs, I have some smoked Kingfish you are welcome to try if you are close.
Mikee, you are the bomb...but alas, I live on Pig Island not the Mainland!! Thank you for the offer though...very cool...
Plan to get down that way later on this year or early next...
Wow, I would so enjoy that, thank you...havent been out on the sea for ages...:)
No worries, you're welcome
Tried to get VC out but so far no luck and now work is getting in the way. Someone keeps booking weekend jobs in, Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Dang!!! There will be NO weekend work come the 4th May!!! I am lucky that our manager is a hunter/fisher and understands these wondrous things!!
The old man got 16 35-40cm brim last sat in a couple hours over golden bay Mikee.

Smoke your own EeeBees ,that shit from supermarket has been painted with liquid smoke & put in oven at low temp.
If you can get hold of a Hake (gem fish) most guys throw them back but probably the best of your smoking fish,Trevally is very good too.
I smoke Barracuda which is the Hakes 1st cuzzie(check for worm first) high oil content makes for better smoked fish .
Chris I reckon you are the first person that I have heard tell of using Barracuda.
They good trout bait ......apparently .Your very welcome to my share Sir.
Some rivers bait can be used Rushy
