Just curious as to how long the smoking takes? ball park other than checking internal

My fish was cooked in about 16h

[@ModCarn]

There are many variables at play with heat being the biggest one. In this video I was doing it in the dead of winter and it can be challenging to keep the smoker at temp. That said, anywhere from 2 hours to 10 hours would be a good (large) range for consideration.

Wood selection? Have heard to use fruit woods?

[@ModCarn]

For smoking of white fish I'd go with apple, pecan or even oak. Yes, the fruit woods are a solid choice.

Have you tried doing this with a dry brine? I imagine you could skip the drying phase.

[@ModCarn]

Yes, I've done a dry brine too. Like you said Andrew, with a dry brine you're actually pulling out moisture before smoking so that's a good thing. Have you tried both?
