Smoking cisco, anyone tried it?

I've smoked em before! You don't necessarily have to brine them. If you brine em, they will be a little saltier, but thats about it. They are so small, they smoke up very well. It helps since they are oily to begin with. They are incredible. I just make sure to scale them before you smoke em'. If you deep fry them, the scales disappear but not if you smoke em. I don't like to brine them. You can use whatever wood you like, but I like alder the best!! Tastes like smoked kippered snacks. I eat them with triskes and hot sauce and they are incredible!
