You need a tub that will hold fish and 2 qts. water and a container that will
hold 2 qts. water and ingredients.
( A typical kool-aid pitcher works great)
1 cup non-iodized rock salt
1/4 cup white sugar
2 qts. warm waterPour the rock salt and sugar into the pitcher.
Fill the pitcher with warm water. Stir for a second or two.
The rock salt will not dissolve all the way.
Place cut up fish in the tub and pour the mixture over the cut up fish.
Soak fish for 3-5 hours depending on the thickness of the fish.
Remove the fish from the brine and place in smoker.
