Close the lid of the smoker or grill and smoke the cisco fish for about 30-45 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
Check the fish periodically and add more wood chips if needed to maintain the smoke.
Once done, remove the smoked cisco fish from the smoker or grill using tongs.
Let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
