Surf n Turf

From a couple of days ago.  A nice fat rainbow caught the same morning and hot smoked indirectly (coals only on one side of the bbq).  When the fish was done, I put some venison loin steaks over the coals to cook nice and quickly.  We had a couple of friends over who’d never had venison - they loved it and were amazed it wasn’t ‘gamey’ as per the common misconception 

you can’t beat cooking meat over fire!

Looks nice.  All home caught/stalked I assume?

Absolutely!  Our AA stocks a 5 acre spring fed hill tarn and the fish grow in beautifully.  The deer hitched a lift back home from Scotland with me a while back.

That fish looks absolutely fantastic!! 

Thanks Lloyd, i have a metal box that I put woodchips in, that sits above the coals and the fish to the side away from the coals so it hot smokes with indirect heat - it was very tasty.

I’ll have to try and get one of them off eBay or something. 
 

What wood chips do you use?

I used hickory for this one Lloyd - purely because it was the only flavour I had.  On hot smoked food, I personally cant really tell too much of a difference in the actual flavour between the woods, only that stuff like hickory & oak have a stronger smoky taste than say, beech.

Damp woodchips triple wrapped in foil (with a couple of fork holes) sat on the cooking grate over the coals works very well too.
