Charcoal Smoker: Use 7 to 9 lbs. charcoal, 4 quarts hot water, 2 wood chunks and smoke 3 to 5 hours, depending on size.

Yield: 1/3 lb. per person Note: This very expensive delicacy can be made easily and economically at home. Serve hot or cold with Cucumber Mayonnaise or Yogurt Dill Sauce. Another note: Frozen seafood should always be thawed before cooking. The most harm you can do to seafood is to overcook. Seafood is done when the flesh turns white or opazue. The meat will flake easily when forked and shellfish will feel firm to the touch. If cooked in the shell, the shells will open when done. Seafood is most delicate and requires short cooking times. Fish with high fat content will require longer cooking. Recipe from "Cook'n Cajun Water Smoker Cookbook".
