I find this gives my smoked fish a better moisture profile than it will have if smoked to 160*F. But that's just me. I have had no complaints and nobody has ever gotten sick from eating my smoked fish.
An internal temperature monitoring device is an invaluable tool for achieving successful results every time. I use an [url "https://www.amazon.com/Inkbird-Wireless-Waterproof-Thermometer-Li-Battery/dp/B07H4J1K8Z"]InkBird IRF-4S[/url][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3].[/size][/#800000][/font]

Quote:[#000000]For hot-smoked products (see section on smoking) the internal temperature of the fish is raised to at least 160°F for bacterial reduction. Since this exceeds the 150°F required to kill parasites, only fish intended for a cold-smoke process must be frozen prior to processing.[/#000000]
