Ingredients
- 4 medium bluefish fillets
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 1 cup maple cure
- 4 cups water
- 1 tbs. tabasco
- 1 tbs. lemon juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbs. ketchup
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1 box crackers
- 1 T. Feisty Fish Rub Sportsman's Table Item #MG105
Instructions
- Mix maple cure with water. Place bluefish fillets in maple cure/brine for three hours. Use ratio of 2/3 cup cure to 2 cups of water and mix enough to cover fish. Take fish out of brine and allow to drip dry on racks. Smoke fish for 2-3 hours at 140-160 degrees in an electric smoker or smoke 4-6 hours at a lower temp (approx. 120 degrees), if you want a heavier smoked flavor. Wrap fish in plastic and refrigerate to cool before serving. Mix cream cheese, onions, capers and Feisty Fish Rub together. Spread on crackers and add a chunk of smoked fish. If desired, add the special sauce after mixing together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, tabasco, and lemon juice.
