    I've 4 salmon sliced right down the middle so 8 sides. They've been I'm my freezer for few weeks and I'm wanting to know is there anyone in mayo who smokes salmon, maybe a fish shop and could smoke these for me. I've done a Google search but came up with nothing

    I know there's someone smoking salmon out in Connemara however I've no details.

    Maybe call Freeney's fishing shop in Galway. They're sound guys and may be able to point you in the right direction.

    Tiernan Brothers in Foxford or Clarkes in Ballina will smoke them.

    I prefer Tiernan Brothers, better finish in my opinion.

    How much is it to smoke the fish. Is it per fish or per smoke time. How long is it to even smoke the fish, does it take a day or few days and whats involved. Do they just smoke it or add the salt,brine as suggested by a friend. I know nothing about smoking other than it tastes lovely.

    Salmon normally cost anything from 25€ each, but you can normally strike a deal for a few salmon filleted. It takes about 2 days depending on how busy they are.

    Each smokery have their own method, for example amount of salt added, temperature of ovens, length of exposure, etc. it's all about trial and error I'm afraid as certain smokers I personally would not use. If you are going doing it a lot I would suggest building or buying your own especially if you live out the country. I am a big fan of cold smoking!

    How do you do your cold smoking. How do you keep temputures at 20 degrees inside smoke for a full day.

    You say 25 euro!! Is that with a free salmon throw in? Lol

    I wish it was 25€ with salmon included haha! Possible if it was farmed salmon you were looking for. Cold smoking starts off as hot smoke until you install ducting to cool the smoke over a few meters which fills into a compartment where your produce is kept hanging.

    Someone gave my friend an oak barrel and he's been saying he's thinking of making a cold smoker out of it after I was telling him about wanting smoke my own salmon. Hopefully he doesn't make a balls out of it and save me 25euro per fish.
