Should you freeze fish before smoking?

Asked: Experience The Outdoors, Last Updated:

Frozen fish for smoking must have been frozen quickly and stored at minus 20°F for less than a year. Whole cod should have been frozen within three days of catching, haddocks within two days, and should have been kept in ice until frozen. Fish frozen as fillets cannot be satisfactorily smoked.
