Anyone have a favorite deer camp recipe? - davetclown - 09-27-2002 [size 3] Ok now you anglers are getting ready for your deer hunting trips. Have you compleated your menue and your shopping list for the food you will be taking? [/size] [size 3] If not then you may want to consider this recipe, one that every one in the camp surly enjoys. Take a couple of them salmon and steelhead from the freezer and put them on the charcoal grill aluminum foil on the grill and use your turkey roasting lid to place over top the fish to trap the smoke from the apple chips or crushed walnuts that you mix with the charcoal[/size] [size 3] Be sure to keep the vents almost completely closed because you want it to cook on the lowest heat as possible. On the up side it will cook much faster than in a smoker as decribed below so additional care in checking while it is cooking is required.[/size] [size 3] This meal can be completed in as little as 2 hours depending on the heat temps you are cooking. Be careful not to make fish chips, (shoe leather is tough to chew on) [/size] [size 3] cutting the fish in to one or two inch strips will allow the fish to cook faster[/size] [center][font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Smoked[/size][/font][size 3][font "Times New Roman"] Salmon/Steelhead Jerky[/font][/size][/center] [ul] [li]Boneless Fillets [li]Large bottle Soy Sauce [li]1 Tbsp. Onion Powder [li]1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder [li]1 Tbsp. tobasco sauce [li]1 Cup water[/li][/ul] [center]1/4 Cup salt (opt.)[/center] To prepare marinade, mix all ingredients well. place in zipper lock baggies for the trip in the cooler. Soak fillets for 24-hours in marinade. perfict when there is a drive to the camp the fish will be prepairing on the way to camp and a real treat for the second day at camp Dry off fillets when ready to be used. I use apple or mesquite chips that one can obtain at most local retailers. Cover the smoking rack with fillets. Put in smoker for at least 6 hours, sometimes as much as 8 or 10 hours depending on how cold it is outside, but must check these about every hour after six hours. After the fillets get to the consistency of a "soft jerky" (not mushy), they are done and ready to enjoy. Preparation time 6 - 12 hours! Recipe by: R.W. Mac Pherson any one else have a favorite camp recipie and would like to shair pleas feel free to post them here on this string .
