Should it really make THAT big of a difference. A couple of weeks ago spent the weekend at the Cowlitz and brought home 3 steelhead and two springer jacks. Smoked em' up the next day without freezing them and they turned out simply phenomenal. Last weekend I froze 2 steelhead and smoked them yesterday and they turned out horrible even though they were only in the freezer for a week. I catch all of my fish on the weekends so I usually always have to freeze them before I can find the time to smoke them. How long will a fresh fish last in the refrigerator? Maybe I could leave them there for a while and then smoke them without ever having to freeze them. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!Smoked fish is sooooo good when done right.
Thanks
Cuthroat
