<\/span><\/h2>\nSet your smoker to 250F and use a mild wood like apple or maple for smoke.<\/p>\n
I smoked the Mahi on my Weber kettle using an indirect, low heat charcoal arrangement. This setup uses about one third of a chimney of lit charcoal banked on the left side of the grill with the top and bottom air vents halfway open.<\/p>\n
You can easily smoke Mahi Mahi on a Traeger grill, or any other pellet grill, by dialing in the grill to 250F and using a mild wood pellet such as apple.\u00a0 Do not use Smoke Mode or use a smoke tube filled with pellets for extra smoke.\u00a0 This is a mild flavored fish and too much smoke will overwhelm the fish flavor.<\/p>\n
Some people like to use Alder pellets for smoking fish but I am not a fan of the Alder flavor profile.<\/p>\n
Smoke the fish for about 30 minutes at 250F until it flakes apart easily and reaches an internal temp hit of 145.<\/p>\n
<\/span>What Does the Fish Taste Like?<\/span><\/h2>\nMahi Mai has a mild fish flavor and is\u00a0very meaty. This makes this a great “starter fish” for folks who don’t like strongly flavored fish like salmon.<\/p>\n
Definitely give this a try next time you’re in the mood for a healthy BBQ dinner!<\/p>\n
