smoking fish
Wood-fired fish preservation
Smoking fish is the process of preserving and flavoring fish by exposing it to wood smoke, producing foods like smoked salmon, kippered herring, or smoked trout.
The technique cures the flesh while imparting distinctive flavor: We spent the afternoon smoking fish from the morning's catch.
Cold smoking keeps temperatures low for delicate texture; hot smoking cooks the fish through.
