I don't plan on smoking any of it. The owner of the place we stayed gave me a pack of smoked to try. I tried some smoked salmon jerky one time, it was expensive. I couldn't hardly eat,man it was rough. I have grilled some of the trout on the George foreman and you couldn't tell it from salmon,it was good. They are a pain to fillet though. The pin bones are a slow go to remove. I've fixed up some to fry also.
