You should all try smoking perch with juniper.
>couple hours with a bunch of course salt on them
>rinse off salt
>fill smoke-box (aluminum foil might work if you don’t have one) with juniper wood and place on hot coals.
>Don’t have too much coals, you want enough for maybe 2 hours then add some more later or it would be too hot and might make the fish dry.
>place fish not above the coals in the corner of the grill when it’s started smoking good, not before
>close lid
>refill smoke box when it stops smoking, had to do once
>smoke 2.5 hours for larger perch and a bit shorter for smaller
Didn’t even need any seasoning, it was amazing. Didn’t have any smoking chips so just cut branch of juniper and chopped into pieces.
Don’t know how long to smoke other fish but if you leave the fins on I’ve heard it’s done when they detach easily so that might help you gauge it.
