For salmon, alder



IMO fish are best with milder smoke flavors. Once I got a bit carried away with hickory smoking some salmon and I swear it tasted like bacon. Not that bacon flavor is bad, but I expect to have some of the salmon flavor. Now I'll mix hickory and alder when smoking salmon, but only use alder when grilling salmon and I want some smoke flavor.
