Good thing I only do seafood when I'm on the coastline. 😆
I'd be willing to give it a taste but man, it sure sounds like jerky to me.
The mesquite wood give it a flavor that awesome, all the BBQ in town do that, thats how I learned, give it a natural mesquite flavor that you cant beat smoke for 4 hrs then build ya fire up to 300 and let it go at the far end of the pit, its not jerky Sailor Boy!...lol
