You can do it on a kettle.
The basic way I have done it is to just smoke it low like 250-275 for no more than a two hours.
I have done salmon mostly. I like apple wood but any fruit woods or alder is fine. I smoke mine till its kindof tough. I like that texture. Use what ever seasonings you like. I'll start skin side down then an hour in I'll peel the skin off and keep smoking for another hour. to be safe I hit it with my thermopen and make sure it comes up to at least 160 or 170. There are a million fancy ways to do it. Bringing, cold smoking, hot smoking etc. But keeping it simple works best for me. When it cools I vacuseal and throw em in the bottom of the fridge. I don't know how long it will keep. I eat it within a week.
