After 20 minutes, lift lid, remove the cooking frame and place another handful of soaked hickory chips on the fire on each side. Replace everything and leave until cooked. Remove and allow to stand for five minutes before serving, or allow to cool and place in the fridge for serving cold later. Side Dishes Smoked fish tastes great hot or cold. Hot fish can be served with mashed potato, cauliflower in white or cheese sauce, or with rice and pickled vegetables.
Cold fish goes great with salads, avocado and whole beetroot.
Extra taste can be added with yoghurt and chopped dill mixed together as an accompaniment. The important part of the process is to try it a few times and for most attempts the results will be outstanding. Once the basics are mastered the rest is easy and some great meals become available from what may be only average fish.
