I've been a subscriber to Mr. McGrady's channel for some time now, and this is one of his best recipes. Like you, I balked at spending 22 a pound plus shipping. What I found, however, is that any white meated fish works well. I used halibut, as I can easily get it through work, but cod, rockfish, sablefish(black cod), pike, etc, will all work. The thing is to smoke that fish harder than the hubs of hell and go light on the brine as too much salt or sugar covers up the fish's flavor. In other words, you are dehydrating the fish as much as adding smoke flavor, and this method needs little salt. Also, I like using our local Yukon Gold potatoes unpeeled as their skin is very thin compared to most red potatoes and russets( yeah these work too). For such a simple recipe, there is a lot going on, and that's what makes it fun.
