I don't think there's anything under it. It's just a rub for a massive rack of buffalo ribs.

Edit: just realized this thread is in the seafood section. Could be I'm wrong about the ribs.

Alright you clowns :lol:
I think Bentley guessed it first.
1.5 kg or one side of Tassie Salmon.
Image

Mix 3 to 1 Salt and brown sugar (Turbinado) or any good strong coffee sugar.

Line tray with at least 1/4 inch and lay the salmon skin side down and then totally cover.
I like my smoked salmon well cured so I left this for 24 hours in the fridge.
After that , they are quite stiff and have a Plasticine feel.

They have now almost soaked an hour in cold fresh water.

Nice colour! Looks like the wild Canadian stuff you can occasionally buy in the US. That beer looks lonely... :idea:

Snapper is an awsum candidate for a similar cure.
Preferably cold smoked, it's how I used to do mine, have done the same with king fish, yellow fin tuna , makeral ect.
Great cure
