Hi guys,
Nope. The only way my wife is "taking me out" is working me to death paying for my children's inheiritance......
Anyway to answer Jimbo's question, the tastes I got were in order:
1. sugar
2. salt
3. chili
4. cinnamon
IMHO the chili really didn't work with the fish. I'm also going to cut way back on the smoke wood next time. maybe only about a 3/4 fist piece.
The cumin was unnoticeable and the cinnamon was barely there. Felt it could use some more of a pungent taste so that's why I was thinking five spice.
What I will say is the WSM was a great way to cook the cod. Moist, flavorful. It was excellent from that perspective.
Can't wait to try smapper or grouper.
I'm also going to dig out a recipe I have for Miso soaked sea bass (soaked in sake and brown sugar) to try to adapt that. Should work great.
The one problem with that recipe is going to be that it benefits form a high temp. that carmelizes the sugar. Going to need to think about that.
OOOps. Sorry. I forgot this is the BBQ forum. Please don't banish me for posting something about miso soaked sea bass. It's been tough at work..... I'll be back to ribs an brisket in no time.
