I stick with pure sugar, pure salt (no iodine), and some allspice. So far, I'm batting 1000 in converting non-fish eaters (except vegetarians). When they taste the smoked stuff, they are "hooked." I know others have more sophisticated recipes, but so far mine gives the desired result .

As you probably already know, make sure you bleed and ice your fish immediately after catching. This seems to make a big difference in the taste, regardless of cooking style.
