Wow LC, that sounds really good. Got some leftover pinks in the freezer, soon to thaw and smoke, that's the one I'll try.
For smoking alternatives, after a trip to Swiftsure we had several salmon types, spring, coho, and sockeye, plus black cod, halibut, red snapper. For an experiment, I tried smoking some of each.
As Wolf said, halibut dries out and has no fat, it was completely inedible sawdust. For the salmon, I recall the sockeye as being good, coho pretty good, but the spring didn't turn out as well for some reason.
But the best, by far, was the black cod (sablefish)...totally blown away by how great it was, one small filet was not enough.
Moral of the story...keep those a few of those "off-catches" when chasing halibut!
