1. I generally like to experiment with flavors but here are a couple of my favorites. After you have brined the fish I forget exactly how much salt but you can find that on most canning sites I like to add to the bottle
1 slice of onion the size of the bottom of the jar (dont separate the rings leave it whole.
about 1-2 table spoons soy sauce
about the same to a little more brown sugar (basically till it tastes like teryake sauce then add a little bit of liquid smoke (your own preference) and can as usual.
2. another good one is after brining add a little smoke and then about a teaspoon of mustard seeds and 2 teaspoons of ground yellow mustard (or you can add 3 table spoons of yellow mustard from a bottle)
3. Finally one of my favorites is to use the same recipe as the first one but then add a tablespoon of minced garlic and a tablespoon of ginger. Also makes a great marinade for smoking fish with if you just mix in the proportions you want for as much fish as you are smoking. one important rule though if you don't want to cover up the taste of the fish don't leave it in this marinade long. Soy sauce soaks in fish fast. usually when i am smoking fish with this I actually just lay the fillets in the marinade for a minute or two and then sprinkle brown sugar on the top of the fillet in the smoker. If I want a strong teryake ginger flavor then i leave it in for an hour or so.
