Why cure and smoke fish?
Smoked fish (aka BBQed fish or kippered fish) has a very unique and delicious taste that is completely different from fresh fish. The combination of smoke, salt, and other curing ingredients makes for a wonderful flavor you just wont find with any other kind of fish. Its considered a delicacy by quite a few people, but the variety of fish in stores is quite limited and its also very expensive. The curing and smoking process helps to firm up and preserve the fish, and it also kills off many harmful bacteria such as the ones that cause botulism. Finally, the process is quite simple compared to many other BBQ dishes.
