Sure.This is my first crack
Sure.
This is my first crack at smoking herring but I have done about 100 trout.
I have a Masterbuilt electric smoker.
I lay skin down. I preheat to 90 degrees and put them in for about 30 minutes. Vented almost closed for the first half then fully open for the second half to let out the moisture. You can crank it up for the last few minutes just to get a bit of brown going.

Hi - thanks Yea - first
Hi - thanks
Yea - first thing I taught the boy to catch. I am not a huge fan coz they are a lot of work for the amount of food you get but the missus loves them and munches on the tails

Just had some for lunch -
Just had some for lunch - were tasty!
Yea - I brine them too. I tried salt rubs but they come out a bit salty...
filleting herring is a pain in the arse - I agree with you on that :-)
