PLANKED FISH

      Title: PLANKED FISH
  Categories: Seafood, Fish
       Yield: 6 Servings
  
  
   You will need some wood shingles.  You can get them at any hardware
   store. Make sure they are cedar or pecan or some other hardwood. Not
   pine or something that will give the fish a turpentine taste. Get one
   for every serving planned.  And extra for later. Soak the shingles in
   water for a couple of hours. I recommend using fish fillets for this
   recipe as they will cook more evenly. Prepare the fish fillets, using
   whatever spices you like, salt and pepper.
   
   Remove the shingles from the water and pat dry.  Oil one side lightly
   in the center where the fish will go. Place one piece of fish in the
   center of each shingle. Then you will place the whole shingle, fish
   and all on a hot grill or over a charcoal fire close enough to the
   heat that the plank will smoke.  It is best to have a heat source
   with a cover. Leave the plank on the heat source long enough for the
   fish to cook, until it flakes easily. The plank will start to char on
   the bottom and edges, this is what smokes the fish while it cooks,
   this is ok. Serve the fish on the plank. This recipe is great for the
   outdoors where a homemade camp "oven" can be used, no plates
   necessary and totally biodegradable. Walt MM
