Beer Brine for Fish

Description
Another great brine recipe that is used at summer cookouts at my house. We use it on trout, salmon and flounder. Yummy.

Ingredients

 * 4 cups dark beer
 * 1/2 cup sea salt
 * 1/2 cup brown sugar
 * 1/4 cup pickling spice
 * 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I use more, but being a gal from the South, the hotter the better)

Directions

 * 1) Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
 * 2) Reduce heat and stir until salt and sugar and dissolved.
 * 3) Remove from heat and allow to cool.
 * 4) Soak fish in brine for 2 hours before smoking or grilling.
