Mmmmm, smoked bluefish... 

[rgramjet]

It's bluefish smoking season!

Caught the fish yesterday, smoked them today

I used to go bluefishing with my dad on the Bay.  Smoked bluefish is awesome!  Actually prefer the Blues to Rockfish if done properly!

Dammit!  Now I needs to go fishin!

Ive recently gotten into marinading with Cuban Mojo.  Basically garlic, orange juice, cumin, lime and salt.

In a nutshell, debone a pork shoulder, flatten it out then stuff it with BACON, sliced HAM, diced prunes and guava shells, roll it up, throw on some Malta Cola and brown sugar and throw it on the grill on a pan using indirect heat......its sinful how good it is.  

Ive made it about 6 times since I stumbled upon the recipe 3-4 months ago.  Keeps getting better!

I used to never keep bluefish - I hate them fresh.  Once I learned how to smoke them I became a bluefish killing machine!  The great part is, nobody likes fresh bluefish, so when fishing in a group nobody cares if I take them all home.  Key is to bleed then immediately after catching (very messy) and then ice them really well - even if you are going to smoke them.

I love a pork shoulder rolled an slow cooked.  Posted my recipe a couple of pages back.  This one sounds even better......I wonder if I could make it work for the rotisserie?

Would probably work great as long as you wrap it tight enough and all the chopped bits dont fall out. I tried it in the oven but prefer the grill because I can impart a little smoke.  I made one last week and Im already Jonsing again.....

If you like runny salsa, this isn't it.

Simple chunky salsa

3 cans (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (14 oz) black beans
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro - finely chopped
1/2 large onion - chop or dice
1 tbsp cumin
1 cup diced jalepenos

drain the tomatoes and beans, then mix it all up. 

Vary the peppers to taste.  Does very well mixing jalepenos and seranos, w/ some cayenne mixed in too.

I don't have a recipe to share just yet, but I have two racks of baby backs out smoking right now!  Last weekend, I decided to give smoking ribs a try.  Worked well enough that I couldn't wait to try again.

Dinner is still a long way off...

Went to visit my father in law yesterday in Carlisle PA.  There is a place called Karns Market.  I bought 40 lbs of bone in pork loin, cut to order for $40.  Unbelievable!

& Speedbag killed it! 

BTW, brined and smoked whole turkey breasts are the shit. Yummy.

Had a family feast/get together this weekend - I decided on a Hawaiian themed menu

the biggest hit on the menu was the easiest to make, Kalua Pork

I took a 5 lb pork shoulder, stabbed it a bunch of times with a fork
rubbed/covered it with coarse sea salt, then liquid smoke, about 1 tbl spoon +/- of each

put it in the crockpot, fat side up, on low, before I went to bed, flipped it in the a.m. (man, what a great smell to wake up to, ALMOST as good as  ), & cooked for a few more hours, took it out & shredded with two forks, removing as much fat as possible & put it back in with some sliced cabbage, let it cook another hour or so in the juices (all in all about 12 hours in the crockpot)

Took some chicken breast steaks.

Dipped 'em in egg.

Dregged them through busted-up Corn Flakes with some cinnamon and crushed red pepper flakes

baked for 70 min @ 350'F.

Served with cooked down veggies (cooked down in EVOO, cracked pepper and lemon juice).

VERY nice!!!

Ive been workin on some ribs all day.  There just about ready to come off, maybe an hour or so.  Ive sampled em and they are awesome.

This post is worthless without the recipe!

One rack is covered with a honey bbq sauce, the other is a dry rub from a local smokehouse.  Applied the rub one hour before putting them on the pit.  Put them on the pit at around 10 this morning, wrapped them in foil at 11 and cooked for five hours.  Unwrapped them at 4 and let them get some more smoke.  Probably take them off at 6.   have to be careful moving them around Because they will literally fall apart in your hand. Oh yeah, using pecan wood.
