I made a batch of Candy  using IronNoggin's recipe a couple days ago and it turned out great!  I ended up brining mine longer than what Nog suggests and when I took em out of the smoker the candy was a little too soft for my liking so I left it on the racks and air dried it over night. By morning the candy was the consistancy of jerky which is what I wanted.  Just a suggestion if you want a dryer product.  This may not be neccessary if brined for the recommended time.

My friend's favorite recipie (I love it when I have a chance to get to the island to visit him and his salmon candy!)  :P

Per 5 lbs of fish – cut approx 1 inch x 1 inch strips (skin on and off)

4 C of brown sugar, 1 C course pickling salt, mixed together.  Dredge fish and leave to sit in solution for 8 hours.

Wash fish for 1/2 hr in cold water. 

Thoroughly dry with lots of paper towels, then place on smoking racks and put them in the fridge for 8 hours. 

Sprinkle them with brown sugar again and smoke with 2 pans of cherry, hickory, alder smoke, or whatever you have.  Smoke for 6 - 12 hours; check every two hours or so after the first 6 hours, until fish feels done to your taste.
