Yeah my family is from Croatia Skip, very close to Hungary...all Hunkys, if you will. Paprikash can also be made with chicken, mom makes it often...very good stuff.

Heres a link to a simple steelhead dish that looks pretty good. And "Don't over cook the fish!"

It's all good, Joe.

Different fleshed fish, different taste, different preparation is needed! I guess that salmanoid is something you like or not. I find steelhead, for many reasons to be less fishy than commercially caught or raised salmon. I like to grill it and will eat it smoked. I do not expect that a steelhead has anything in common with my prized Walleye or panfish. It is obviously different and requires different techniques.

Bughawk I have some questions regarding your smoker/grill technique. If you check this post again and are willing to go into more details about the specifics of your wood chips and how you pull this off. . .I would like to try it.

I've tried several recipes, but the best is the one in the fishusa recipes for Instant Steelhead. The key is marinating the steelhead. I marinate in
baking soda and water, before putting the filets in milk overnight.

The folks who don't like the taste of steelhead are too lazy to fix it right,
or too finicky in their tastes. Each to his own, I guess.

What I did was buy a cheap metal pan at the local dollar store and set it on the lower grill, just above the burner of my gas grill. I soak the wood chips for a few hours and put them in the pan and put the cooking grill back in place. Next I cut on the gas and fire up the burner under the pan of chips, keeping it pretty low and close the top of the grill. Once it gets smoking, I put the fish on. I actually put the fish in a separate grill with a handle that I can turn easily. It is one of those grills that opens up, you put your meat or fish or veggies inside, and then close it back up. Anyway, I put the fish onto the grill next to the smoke and a little away from the fire and close the top. I want to smoke it slowly and not cook it really fast. Depending on the size of the fish and how hot I have the fire, it takes about 10 minutes per side. I know it is done when the fish starts to flake easily.

I hope that helped.

Oh yea, I usually use hickory chips if I can find them, but sometimes I have used oak, maple and even apple wood. I tried mesquite, but did not like the flavor. It is OK for chicken or steak, but it did not seem so good for steelhead.

                                 : chop 3 cloves of garlic and mix it w/ one stick of butter spread garlic butter mix over outside of fish

I like releasing the fish & licking my fingers clean to get the full, natural flavor.

There are two things I have discovered about steelhead over the years. The first is either you like to eat them or don't. There really is no middle ground here. Second, if you are going to eat them, they should be fresh from the lake and properly handled. This time of year, with the high temperatures, these fish will go off quickly. I would suggest if you are going to keep them, bleed them immediately and get them on ice... The last thing you want to do is drag them around all day on a rope, throw them into the bed of your truck and drive two hours home.

I love them smoked ........ And only fresh out of the lake.
I use Larry the coonhunter's recipe. Here is a link that uses the same brine:

Also remember safe handling of your fresh fish.
And consumption of sport fish caught in Lake Erie to one, half-pound meal per week.

You're right Bug...one of the main keys is to eat the fish fresh! One thing I rarely do is freeze steelhead fillets. When I crave some fresh steelhead, I simply go fishing!
