Cold smoke... the temperature of the smoke is under 60º (aprox). The smoke salmon is done this way. The fish stays raw and preserved thanks to some of the agents on the smoke, but depending on the size of the fish he can take a while to get good results.
Hot smoke... the temperature is above 80-100º (aprox). The fish is cook and is the way the average steel smoker works. A few min to have a nice and moist fish for the table. Real hot smoke... Above 150º some cancerigen components start to deposit on the fish: not recommended... well, unless you already smoke: on that case he doesn't make much of a difference! Dipping: in some places you can buy a liquid to "smoke" food... I can not say much about because I've never try! You must try and experiment... I like the fish raw, and find the cold smoke more accord to the delicacy of the fish flesh taste. Hot smoke can be a bit strong if you use too much wood... but is all according to your taste! Cold smoke kingfish (marlin), thinly sliced and served with a salad of shaved cucumber, cottage cheese (fresh goat cheese if you find it) a olive/lemon/rosmarin sauce and slightly "garliqued" toasts is a real treat. A real delicate way to cook your soft fleshed fish is: Gut the fish thought the gills (leave the scales and forget about the fridge), submerge on a fish stock/white whine and slowly heat up until 70-80º... no more (I use a digital thermometer stolen from the office). After a few min your fish have an amazing consistency between raw and cook: moist and tender close to perfection. He does take some practice to get it right, but unforgettable served with a safran white sauce... dam! I'm starving now... The pic of a trout preserved with cold smoke during a remote trip.

La Courbe de tes yeux La courbe de tes yeux fait le tour de mon coeur, Un rond de danse et de douceur, Auréole du temps, berceau nocturne et sûr, Et si je ne sais plus tout ce que j'ai vécu C'est que tes yeux ne m'ont pas toujours vu. Feuilles de jour et mousse de rosée, Roseaux du vent, sourires parfumés, Ailes couvrant le monde de lumière, Bateaux chargés du ciel et de la mer, Chasseurs des bruits et sources des couleurs, Parfums éclos d'une couvée d'aurores Qui gît toujours sur la paille des astres, Comme le jour dépend de l'innocence Le monde entier dépend de tes yeux purs Et tout mon sang coule dans leurs regards. Paul ELUARD, Capitale de la douleur (1926)

Hiya all
Just another week-end report. After 2 weeks of HUGE seas and gale force winds, the weatherman finally predicted a calm sea with little wind. Left work at 4:00am, picked up crew, drove to Dassen Island (Yzterfontein), which is about 80km's away. Got there, and we couldn't even open the cars doors!!! Gale force winds.........arghhhhh...........one of these fine days i'm going to have a nice long chat to those weathermen!!!!!!  Anycase, a couple of phonecalls later, we're off to Cape Point, which is now about 140km's away. Got there, flat sea with a fresh wind.........well looks dive-able. Ran out to Bellows, past all the commercial fishing boats, which were all sitting very quitely. Hmmmmmm, not much action. At Bellows Rock, we found a school of yellowtail kingfish. Jumped in only to be greeted by 2m viz!!!! Needless to say, we stopped diving and rather went to shoot some reef fish in the quiter water of False Bay. Here the viz was 5-7m with 15degrees water. Not great, but good enough. Shot some nice Galgoen though. Realised that all this yellowtail hunting has made me lazy, so i need to brush up on my reef fish skills!!! To brighten up our day, we had a whale come say hello!!!! Not to clued up as to what type, and by the time i got the digital camera out he had sounded already. Managed to get a bad picture of him. Just look below the birds and you can clearly see his tail as he is busy diving. Now if only i could have a bottom time like that whale.........................
