In your article about smoking catfish, I was wondering if you lay the meat on the rack of the smoker or put it in foil? How about other fish? Thanks and I really enjoy your site.
Firmer fish and fish with the skin left on can be smoked directly on the grate with no problem. If you're smoking skinned fillets of catfish, you might have a problem with the fish sticking to the grate. However, if you keep the grate clean and oil it lightly before smoking the fish, you normally won't have too much sticking to contend with.
By smoking in foil, the fish won't taste as smoky as it would if cooked directly on the grate...something else to consider.
