Cajun Fish Jerky

We are very fortunate that Kevin and the boys love to fish and are even more fortunate that we live across the street from a beautiful lake.  In the summer months my boys fish almost daily to catch food for us since it is the only fish Ry and Kevin can tolerate.  It is really easy to get tired of eating fish the same old way so I decided to try some new techniques.

I make beef jerky all the time and figured that fish jerky would be just as easy.  Not only was it easy to do but it was great.  I vacuum sealed some so that Kevin has the perfect quad trip snack.

Cajun Fish Jerky

3-4 fish fillets, deboned
2 tbsp. paprika
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ginger
2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp all spice

Slice the fish into strips and mix in with all the spices.  Let sit in the marinade for 15 minutes to 1 hour.  Lay the fish on baking sheets and bake at 350 F for 8 minutes.  Transfer the strips to the dehydrator and dehydrate for 6-8 hours.  It should be the consistency of regular jerky.
