Fish Jerky

[Flatcoat1]

With the bluegill spawn nearing, does anyone else make fish jerky using bluegill, crappie, white bass, etc...? The pieces may not be too big but sure are tasty. Flatcoat

Never heard of fish jerky? Personally I only eat fish once it has been cooked. Do you cook it then dry it?

i know one of my friends came back from tok alaska and had some smoked fish, (salmon) and said an ole boy smoked it in an old icebox, w/a burnbox next to it, he said alot ofem do that there, but all i know it was good, and i dont know the life span on it, but you can carry it like jerky for a week i know, spent a week at camp and thats what i kept in my day pack

When I do fish jerky I will cure it in the oven on a very low temperature with the door propped open. The salt from the cure actually "cooks" the fish. When it is finished I keep it in the refrigerator or freezer. Easy to do, soak in soy sauce or terriyaki sauce for a couple of hours then place in oven. Flatcoat
