Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Maple syrup — Opt for pure maple syrup for the best flavor. Avoid using pancake syrup or artificial maple-flavored syrups.

Tips & Tricks

  • Soak the goldeye fillets in a brine solution for 30 minutes before smoking to enhance their moisture and flavor.
  • Experiment with different wood chips for smoking, such as applewood or hickory, to add unique smoky flavors.
  • If you don't have a smoker, you can achieve a similar result by using a charcoal grill with indirect heat and adding soaked wood chips for smoke.
