What are the best fish/wood chips to use in a stovetop smoker?

There are many types of wood available for stove top smokers. Everyone has their own taste, so try a few and experiment. You'll find one you like. Have fun!

Cherry wood sawdust. Once did a blind taste test: same cured salmon stovetop smoked with 8 different woods. Cherry was the hands down favorite.

Oh man. I would go with hickory and salmon. I smoked some blueback salmon a few weeks ago and it was amazing. I wrote about it here www.kalehog.com. We used a small grill but the recipe we followed was for a stovetop smoker. Good luck!!

For most fish I would go with either cherry or applewood. And be sure to use firm fillet's of which ever fish you are smoking.

When I bought my stovetop smoker years ago, I also purchased several different "flavors" of chips from the manufacturer: alderwood, hickory, applewood, cherry and a few others. This small smoker requires a sawdust-type of chip, probably available in big-cart, Home Depot, Lowe's and hardware stores. You can simply experiment or surf the net for recipes for compatible chip "flavors" and food types. One example is to use hickory chips with pork for BBQ.
