Whitefish are fan-freakin-tastic smoked and there are loads of....which you need to make it worth while!

Smoked Kokanee.
I'll agree on the belly meat.
If you ever get the chance, smoked Marlin, Baracuda, and Papio(jack Cravali) is real good.

Spinger belly. LOts of our AK clients don't want the bellies withe their filleted fish. Guess who gets em  Smoked black cod is also very good. Certain recipes of smoked halibut are also yummy.

Just hang out at the fish cleaning station at the right time and "volunteer" to cut some fish in exchange for bellies and collars. On a 45-50# king, that's 8-9# of prime groceries for the smoker. The last few years, I've brought back more salvaged bellies/collars than I have actual king meat that I tagged for myself.

It's hard to beat Columbia River spring Chinook or sockeye from just about anywhere. Both are terrific. However, lake whitefish from Lake Superior are as good as either.
If you're not from the Great Lakes area, as I am, you might not believe it. But don't knock it until you've tried it. Lake whitefish is fantastic on the smoker.

Small feeder kings (under 15lbs.) a close second would be black cod.
