Looks great!
I've used SD's advice re smoked fish and it always turns out. I do like it brined a bit longer than 90 though. I usually let it go about 3-4 hours. Texture seems just a bit better. Maybe my pieces are usually bigger?
Anyway, congrats on turning out some fine looking fish. There is absolutely no doubt different people like different amounts of salt on their food...3-4 hours with a hypertonic brine will always give you more salt than the vast majority of people like, though. The key is whether your brine truly is hypertonic...

A little hijack here, some of the worst information and nastiest looking smoked product I've seen is/was on the site 'smoking meat forums'. Your trout looks good. I'm going to try the reduced brine time. Art, is there any published information on the hypertonic ratios?

Hypertonic is pretty much hypertonic and there is no huge difference in speed of salt transfer by adding more electrolytes as they move more slowly than water in a hypotonic solution.

I have made quite a few runs at smoking hooligan and have not been satisfied with the oily results. Smelt from MI and WA have been easy by comparison.

Made a Smoked Trout Dip the other day from a few of the trout I smoked. My first attempt and it turned out GREAT!
2 whole trout picked and flaked
16 ounces cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
kosher salt to taste
fresh ground pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste (I like spicy)
1/2 cup shredded sharpe chedder cheese
1 bunch of chopped green onions
1 tablespoon each of dill weed and parsley (more or less to taste)
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Throw the trout in the processor and chop to fine consistency (helps with bones that were missed). Remove and set aside.
Add cream cheese and sour cream and blend until smooth. Add trout, green onions, horseradish, cheese, spices, lemon juice until blended.
Place in small Tupperware containers. Top with cheese, green onions, a dusting of dill, parsley, and cayenne pepper to garnish. Put in fridge for an hour and enjoy.
I came up with this on the fly as an experiment. Wife really liked it and she is not a fish fan.
Really goes good with a cold BEER!! Just saying.
