Fillets skin on,brine of your choice, overnight soak. Remove pat dry and place skin side down on rack in a cool place until the pellicle forms on fish(this is a layer on the fish which has a shiny appearance)
A fan blowing over the fish can help. The pellicle helps the fish take the smoke better, and also keeps it moist.
