$50 bucks well spent hey, as others have said mulloway, sambo, tuna, my top 3 favourites are skippy tailor and herring.
Even people who dont really like fish love it smoked! experiment with the brine too , apparently a dry brine is better

Havent had much luck with smoking fish last summer, anyone got a kick ass/fool proof method?
I think I had my heat too high and often dried fish out too much and didnt really have a smokey flavour

Cant beat aussie salmon for
Cant beat aussie salmon for smoked fish, tailor and herring are close behind. Need oily fish to do it I reckon. A big sea mullet would be tops on the smoker but havent got one to try yet.
Ive tried wet and dry brines and the dry one is simpler, get your sugar and salt mix it then rub over fish, sit in fridge for a couple of hours until juices come out then wash off and pat dry. get your smoker smoking and then out your fish in. I know its not the best way but its simple and works for me

agree to Australian salmon
agree to Australian salmon being delecious, and can vouch for smoked mullet also just as good.

Had a smoker setup at the old mans place.
A 44 drum on top of some brick which had the fire and drop section for the ash. Gut and gill some herring than butter fly them, hang them for a while to dry and smoke for about 3-4 hours, fairly slow coolish smoke. Have also done salmon fillets and cobbler. Tasted brillant. Have only got a small smoker now only used it once with some sea mullet which turn out good. Always trial and error with heat and amount of smoke and what type of wood chips to use. But always goes down well with a few beers.
Old fishermen never die they just smell that way.

Are these all hot smokers?I
Are these all hot smokers?
I did a cold smoked Spanish Mack and some Wahoo. Used a smoked salmon recipe but swapped the dill for some chilli flakes and it came out seriously awesome.
In terms of other meats - make some Speck. I did a pancetta last year also which was great. But again, all cold smoke so not sure what setup you are running
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
