    Lovecraftian horrors aside, that actually does sound really, really good if done well. I kinda want to try it now… The outer fish-body isn’t eaten, but just to give flavor when smoking it, right?

      I think it would be a way to retain the juices and flavors, and so the meat doesn’t dry out during the smoke process. Probably also a way to mellow the smoke flavor in the mix. The body would end up REALLY smokey and bitter but the meat inside would have hints of smoke. It really does seem as something that would be delicious.
