Texas Smoked Flounder

Prep

Cook

45 min

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat a smoker for high heat, about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). If you do not have a smoker, prepare a grill for indirect heat. If you have a gas grill, stop here and find another recipe!
  2. 2 Clean and scale a fresh flounder. I leave the head on for dramatic appearance, but most people panic at the sight. Use a sharp knife to make 3 or 4 diagonal slits on the body that are big enough for lemon slices. Slice half of the lemon into thin slices. Rub a light coating of olive oil over fish, then squeeze the other half of lemon over it, and rub in some black pepper. Rub or press 1 tablespoon of dill into slits on the body, and insert lemon slices firmly. Place flounder on a large piece of aluminum foil, and fold the sides up high around fish. There should be enough foil to seal into a packet, although you want it open for now.
  3. 3 Place fish onto the grill or smoker, and throw a couple of handfuls of soaked wood chips onto the coals. Close the lid and smoke thoroughly for about 10 minutes. Once fish has been flavored by smoke, you can seal up the foil and move to direct heat if you like, but I prefer to smoke it until done. When fish is done, flesh should flake easily with a fork.
  4. 4 Remove fish from the grill using the foil as a handle, and garnish with remaining fresh dill.
