Smoked Trout with Capers is a signature dish at our house. The brown sugar fish cure we use to make it will make anything taste good! I would like to say it is our culinary skills but truth is… this stuff is awesome. Give it a try. The sauce we adopted from a friend and improved the cream cheese spread with our Feisty Fish Rub.

- 4 cups water
- 1 tbs. tabasco
- 1 tbs. lemon juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

- 1 T. Feisty Fish Rub Sportsman's Table Item #MG105
Instructions
- Mix brown sugar fish cure with water. Place trout fillets in Brown Sugar Fish Cure brine (Sportsman's Table item number TW007) for three hours. Use ratio of 2/3 cup cure to 2 cups of water and mix enough to cover the fish. Take out and drip dry on racks in refrigerator for 24 hours. Smoke trout 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 and if your smoker allows you to do so. Wrap fish in plastic and refrigerate to cool before serving.

A quick and easy hot sauce can also added to the cracker, try using ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, tabasco and lemon juice to taste. Serve on the side.
