Indian Longhouse Method of Smoking Fish

Trim the ribs so that they are of approximately uniform thickness.

This usually involves making a fillet by removing a strip of meat from one side.

Make a superficial cut through the tough membrane between each pair of ribs.

Place the meat in boiling water for 10 minutes.

If you want to experiment, add some onions and/or spices to the water, including garlic, salt and pepper.
