One of the easiest and cheapest cottage agric businesses you can start without stress is a catfish smoking business. There are several catfish farmers in Nigeria today, so getting catfish to smoke is not a problem. All you need to start this business is skill and determination. You don’t have to be a catfish farmer, you might not even have an idea of how fish grows but you can make big money smoking fish for fish farmers. This is a business for both fish farmers and non-fish farmers. Smoking fish can be easy if you follow some basic steps. The four basic steps in smoking fish are cleaning, curing, smoking and drying.

Tips on smoking catfish
The first step in your fish smoking business is to obtain some fresh fish. If it doesn’t look FRESH or smell FRESH or feel FRESH, it probably isn’t, and it will make your finished product taste bad. Use fresh fish. Smoking will not hide old fish. The quality will be reflected.Catfish harvest is categorize into two namely melange (unit weight between 300g-600g) and table size (600g-above),the price/kg of melange is between N350-N400 and N450-N500 for table size as at today. The pocket size of your target audience will determine the type in terms of size of fish to smoke.

After harvesting (as a farmer) or purchasing (as a non farmer) your fresh catfish, put them in a container and add a reasonable amount of cooking salt and cover the container with a lid and place a heavy object on the lid to prevent the fish from getting out of the container.Leave for about 30 minutes after which all the fish must have been dead then you can start the steps mentioned above.


CLEANING
• clean fish, removing the gills and intestine.
• Wash in clean water.

BRINE AND CURE
what is brine? Basically, brine is salt and water. Soaking the fish in brine will achieve a few things:
• It will firm up the flesh to be less mushy.
• It will draw out any old blood, which will improve the taste.
• It will add some saltiness to the fish in the right amounts; this is desired.
• It will add some additional flavoring to the fish.
• The cure will ensure that we are protected from the deadly botulism bacteria, especially since this is a relatively low temperature cooking environment.

(Brine recipe • 1/2 gallon good clean spring water • 3/4 cup kosher salt (or plain salt, but not iodized salt)

SMOKING AND DRYING
• Prepare smoker. Too much smoke will cause the fish to taste bitter. Use just enough wood to maintain a steady smoke (Read my next post for types of oven and there advantages)
• Remove fish from brine and rinse with cold water.
• Place fish, skin side down on oiled smoker rack.
• Keep the fire low, for the first two hours.
• Increase heat after the first two hours. The length of time will depend on the thickness of the fish, and on your preference for dry or moist smoked fish.
• . Continue smoking until fish is flaky and cooked through.

NB:Avoid smoking fish with firewood and sawdust, this is because these two generates a lot of smoke which contains high PAH that is very toxic to human health. Read the next post titled "types of oven" for information's on this

There are many advantages for smoking fish. It prolongs the “shelf life” of the fish once it has been smoked. Many people believe it enhances the flavor when used in sauces and soup. If you harvest a number of fish at a time, you can decide to smoke some to increase your income. A kilo of smoked fish is between N2500 – N3000. You can pack them in bags per kilo by sealing with low oxygen or even sell as fish hampers.
A smoked catfish can be stored in the freezer for sixty days.
Last but not least, smoked fish is a great way to get omega-3 fatty acids. There are numerous studies showing positive effects of these acids on the prevention of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Weedsmoker:
I did not only fail, hundreds if not thousands of others also did,the biz is overhyped.My senior bro lost over 15m on that useless biz not that we didn't plan well and we even hired the best of consultants to guide us,with state of the art hatchery and other facilities,we even use the best fish feed that money can buy.Catfish biz has destroyed so many lives, caused pains and sorrows to families.Its just like forex trading biz,the more you look the less you see..... losses, losses upon losses.
The only people profiting from the biz are catfish information marketers and consultants,fish sellers in the market,feeds sellers while the farmers end up in pains and sorrows.


Ladies and gentlemen,catfish farming is a scam.

Nothing good comes easy, I am also a catfish farmer.
