Cold smoked tuna is also very good, as is halibut.

Lake Superior Whitefish!

Or in a pinch, whitefish from whatever lake you can get 'em from. You can probably smoke just about any fish, but the results will vary greatly depending on how the fish is prepared (brined,cured, etc.) and smoked (smoke wood used and temp smoked at can produce HUGE swings in flavor and texture).

kim, i'm so glad you mentioned mullet. smoked mullet is delicious. i used to get it at fast eddie's place on anna maria island in florida, but i haven't been back there for years.

for smoking, did anyone mention river shad? delaware river smoked shad is also delicious.

and i'm with ronjohn on smoked whitefish. with a little mayo, on a bagel with chopped scallion, and a squirt of lemon.

Smoked bluefish is a real treat!

Any dark fish. I once smoked a carp out of the Susquehanna River. Trimmed the mud meat out (you'll know it when you see it) and kep the firm stuff. Brined it overnight and smoke it for eight hours. Taste and texture like salmon. It was caught way upstream of TMI so it didn't glow. I just wouldn't eat too much of it from that river.

actually, the effluence of a nuke plant is a great place to fish. the water isn't radioactive, we hope, but the warmth allows for a longer growing season for the fish.

I hear ya there, bt. Back in OK, there is a coal-fired electric plant near Ponca City. There is a thermal outlet in the lake, and the lake was stocked with striped bass. These things grow HUGE, over 70 lbs, if I'm not mistaken.
