address label was ripped off in handling procedure...

Gave the Salmon to the UPS driver...

Good to hear from Ya'll,Kevin... Cool

The Salmon smoked up just great...We delivered one of the bigger fillets to my nieces house where we joined family for Christmas Dinner...Would You believe that the young'ns...
(teens) were the first to dive into the fish?

Devoured just about the whole thing in 30 minutes...Made me a very Happy Uncle . Laughing

Have a Great Holiday Weekend, Kevin and Debbie!

Best Regards,

Tony Very Happy

Thanks, Boyz! Wink

Yeah...That recipe goes back Generations! Keep in mind that the end yield for this recipe is relatively small...At Holiday time,my wife commonly makes (6) times the recipe to accommodate all the fish that has been prepared...it keeps well in the 'fridge (the cold one Laughing

) due to the vinegar/oil base. Glad Ya'll liked the recipe...We'd love to see some pics
of Ya'lls with this paired to some of Your own smoked delights!

Okay Brothers...Ball's in Your (smoker) Court! Laughing

Best Regards,

Tony Very Happy
