Planked Fish

Title: Planked Fish
Categories: Seafood, Fish
Yield: 6 servings


You will need some wood shingles. You can get them at
any hardware store. Make sure they are cedar or pecan
or some other hardwood. Not pine or something that
will give the fish a turpentine taste. Get one for
every serving planned. And extra for later. Soak the
shingles in water for a couple of hours. I recommend
using fish fillets for this recipe as they will cook
more evenly. Prepare the fish fillets, using whatever
spices you like, salt and pepper.

Remove the shingles from the water and pat dry. Oil
one side lightly in the center where the fish will go.
Place one piece of fish in the center of each shingle.
Then you will place the whole shingle, fish and all on
a hot grill or over a charcoal fire close enough to
the heat that the plank will smoke. It is best to
have a heat source with a cover. Leave the plank on
the heat source long enough for the fish to cook,
until it flakes easily. The plank will start to char
on the bottom and edges, this is what smokes the fish
while it cooks, this is ok. Serve the fish on the
plank. This recipe is great for the outdoors where a
homemade camp "oven" can be used, no plates necessary
and totally biodegradable. Walt MM
