    It is recommended that you rub in flavorings just before putting the fish into the smoker, although you can also put flavorings into either of the above brines; in other words you can prepare a brine marinade flavored with garlic, shallots, tarragon, dill, thyme, or whatever you fancy.
  2. 2
    After brining in the flavored brine, fish should washed off and dried before smoking.
  3. 3
    Smoked fish will keep for a solid year, at least if they are frozen in airtight plastic bags from which the air has been exhaled.
