After getting smoked by yellowtail, it's nice to return the favor.
After the neighbors are styled out and you can't even look at another piece of hamachi, I usually smoke the leftovers. Time is not something I have alot of so, I've evolved the smoking process down to a few hours.
Take all your leftover bits and cut them into small pieces. The smaller the better, more surface area means faster smoking. In a large ziplock, pour in a small bottle your favorite terriaki. Add enough water till all pieces are submerged, add a cup or two of brown sugar and mix in the bag. Add any additional spice you might want. I put a little bit of red pepper and sesame seeds. Let it soak in the fridge for 1+ hours and then put em on the smoker. This batch was done in 2 hours. I added so much brown sugar that the brine was almost like cold maple syrup...which gives a killer caramel taste in the end.
good luck out there.
