Smoked Florida Mullet

Ingredients

Preparation

Make sure to have space in the refrigerator for a large container to hold at least one gallon of water and the mullet fillets. In the container, add the water, kosher salt, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon seasoning and crushed bay leaves. Stir the ingredients until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Add the mullet filets to the brine and place in the refrigerator overnight.  

Remove the mullet from the brine and discard the liquid. Set the mullet on a wire rack so they can dry.  

Once dry, the brined mullet can be seasoned well with more Florida seafood seasoning. The smoker should be between 185 and 200 degrees. Place the brined and seasoned mullet in the smoker for 2 to 3 hours until done and smoked throughout. Remove the smoked Florida mullet from the smoker and let cool slightly. Serve with sliced radish, cucumber and pickled okra.
