Alaska Dip Netting - Sockeye Salmon Catch, Cook, and Preserve

We tried our luck at dip netting for sockeye salmon this year! News was the Kasilof was running good opening day so we quick packed up the truck and drove south. You must be an Alaskan resident to dip net so this was our first opportunity.
This gives us a chance to quickly fill the freezer with great quality food. We did not hit our limit this trip but still ended up with lots of food for us all.

Nice work! And so much fun dipnetting those salmon! Some suggestions from a fellow Alaskan…gill fish as soon as you bring them in to bleed them out, fillet fish down both sides without gutting or beheading which is quicker, much easier & less bloody. Use a grippy mat under salmon when filleting so they won’t slip around.

Your baby is sooooo beautiful!!!!!!! What a precious gift!

[@connietinkham9311]

Rowan is so adorable. I'm glad you guys got all that salmon.❤

[@suseyq4559]

Baby Rowan is adorable. So glad for your huge haul! Congratulations…I can’t tell how excited you are over the salmon.

[@shirleyharvey7376]

Rowan is adorable and growing fast💕. It’s good to get food in the freezer!

[@marymoran719]

Anxiously awaiting another video. Love your channel and so glad I came across it

[@monahardy978]

Nice job u guys thats alot of meat for the future!! Baby n dad sleeping in the chair was priceless ❤

[@canamrider7195]

Great success with the fishing. Cody and the baby look dead tired napping together.

[@nittygritty9418]

That is a huge haul, you saved so much money. Nice job preserving all of it. I love the little smile from Rowan. :)

[@vickiturner9392]

Can we have your recipe for your marinade please. Just loved Rowan on daddy’s lap and she appears to be so good for you. What a great couple of days away great salmon haul.

[@remotelifealaska]

This is the original recipe we very loosely followed. • 1.5 lbs salmon (skinless and bones removed) • 3 tbsp honey • 2 tbsp olive oil • 1 tbsp tbsp apple cider vinegar • 1/4 cup aminos or soy sauce • 2 cloves garlic minced • 1 tbsp grated ginger • 1/4 tsp salt • 1/4 tsp pepper • 2 tbsp chopped scallions • 1 tsp white sesame seeds

[@CutandShoot5x5]

You’re living the dream Kids! Rowan will be so grounded being raised by your awesome choice! ❤️ from Texas!

[@sarahschlosser1203]

You have to take time for fun and food stocking. Great shot of dad and baby sleeping. Can't wait till the next video

[@maryhall6584]

Loved that you took us in your adventure. Rowan seems to be loving everything she sees. You guys did amazing. 🎉❤. A tent would have been nice for sure. Loved daddy and Rowan crashing in the chair

[@npete55]

Some beautiful fillets! I saw a trick that works great..when pulling the bones, drape the fillet over a upside down bowl.. the fine bones are easier to find and pull

[@WhiteBreadThunder-op6in]

That trip worked out great. The fishing is often not as productive as what you experienced. Good job. Don’t stress about “ limits”. That’s a lot of fish you harvested.

[@charlenegrady8781]

Nice job fishing. Fill the freezer👍. Good job guys. The little one is getting so big. Precious. Take care✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoy all your videos. ❤

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

OK, haven't watch the vid yet, but had to comment... Thank you for the intro! I got a great LOL and now can't stop smiling😆 That was my own lil intro. Now on with the video🥰 Watched, and wowie that was fun. Can't do all that myself anymore, so I love my youtube adventures. Thank you Cody, Lori, Rowan and Irie🌻🐝

[@annregan5330]

Really enjoyed this one very interesting video great catch all that salmon well done you two loved the marinade recipe as well awww Cory and Rowan flat out on the chair classic and she is getting so cute little smile she's gorgeous.you are blessed take care ❤

[@bonneymoseley1159]

Next time hon, watch a few youtube videos on fileting, but keep your bones with meat and take a spoon and scrape off meat, use it for salmon patties, but of course it does make good dog food for the puppy. Just a way of giving you more meat. My sister boils meat off and uses it for salmon chowder. You guys did awesome!

[@willamettehops]

Nice fishing trip! I think that bloodline on the internal cavity of salmon is called the 'kidney'.

[@christinewinner6425]

You have done really well. Great first start. Lots of work but you have food for the future.

[@somanyveggies]

I'm officially bummed out. I've binged all of your videos and am all caught up. Really enjoying your journey!

[@marymoran719]

Me too

[@lynnpike988]

Nice catch. Scrape the meat from the skeleton w/ a fork and make salmon patties or dog food.

[@JayAndEleinne]

Awesome!! Our 1 year is just after dip netting so we have to wait until next year for our first time. But it's fun to watch you two.

[@Jeremy_936]

Do you have to be an Alaskan resident to dip net? PS: love your channel

[@JayAndEleinne]

@@Jeremy_936 yeah for a full year. For us, that's August 9th.

[@debbiemiller7342]

Great job! Rowan is just precious. Love her little bug net tent. Thanks for sharing

[@AlexB-km7os]

Use pressure cooker. You'll be able to soft fish bones and increase eatable stuff outcome. Extra calcium good for human bones as well.

[@erikateixeira4849]

Very nice of you too share, and a good haul! Rowan is so very adorable! See you in the next video.

[@butchbinion1560]

Thanks, grew work guys stay safe. ✌🏻👊🏼

[@marlene7832]

What a bunch of good eating for the future. You guys are doing great.

[@2007KB]

Rowan is so cute. Nice hail of fish! Filleting from the tail is easier

[@miephoex]

Practice makes perfect! Put a towel under that cutting board. Good job. 😊

[@janemay8721]

Nice amount of fish! Good job!

[@ZXX984]

Great work. Rowan is really cute.

[@marymoran719]

Great Video. A lot of hard work. Rowan is a doll!

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

[@kathrynepler6877]

[@jaybee608]

Another reason I'd like Alaska! One of the Pros!

[@carolyngregory9354]

Great salmon haul for lots of meals. Little Rowan is simply adorable, and those cute rolls are so sweet , like she is getting plenty of nourishment. Great video.

[@mariezafonte6473]

[@donaldhofman5257]

Thats some great meals!!❤

[@SandraCrockett]

[@user-sz1sc7ni6v]

Awesome catch!!

[@nanscott3362]

Your little daughter is so cute what a beautiful family . Enjoy watching you guys fishing.

[@jamesfrancisco7308]

Tweezers work very well to take the pin bones out, forceps, or needle noise pliers.

[@leannewilson7788]

Awesome work! Yummo

[@robertbartmann8470]

Hey guys, going back a year when you were standing in your snow covered lot, did you ever think that you'd be where you are now? Going dip netting and putting up 66 Salmon filets. I dare say, probably not. You have done an absolutely , fantastic job building, what I believe, will be an awesome homestead for you ,Rowen and God willing, a brother or sister or more. ❤❤❤❤ You're an awesome couple quickly adapting to the Alaskan Way. God bless you richly and all the best. Barb and Bob

[@babsoneverything3060]

Yeah!! What a great day!!

[@jasondavis1816]

Great job guys 👍only in Alaska

[@karenexner6848]

Yikes....That's a lot of fish!!! LOL Hey, maybe sometime you could show us a drone shot of your property? It would be interesting to see. Thanks!!

[@jeffzorza1830]

Next time take a spoon and scrape the the back bone to make salmon burgers, you’ll be surprised at how much meat is left after you filet them. Also when you vacuum seal more than one filet to a bag, skin side out, meat to meat. That way if you get freezer burn the meat is protected, so leave the skin to the outside.

[@PaulineAdcock-py7uy]

What a haul--good job guys! Rowan is a good baby & she's beautiful. 💜

[@dstallard5673]

Good job guys

[@kentspencer7249]

good jiob

[@elbywest5977]

just subbed up, first video that popped up on my algo,. I like what you are doing!

[@billmcdonald9115]

When you were cleaning salmon number three in the stream, over your shoulder, there was a nice trout jump in the little stream. Take some of that salmon roe and go catch that fish.

[@nanscott3362]

Your salmon looks delicious , good job. Now i am hungry 😂

[@coolhand6669]

Hey guys nice Sockeye love them by the way if you like caviar here's the recipe 48 oz of water 16 oz of salt mix up until dissolved cold water now you want to break the eggs away from the membrane you can get a plastic great from Home Depot it's like a plastic like a plastic screen that has holes the size of the eggs and you just rub the eggs gently inside those membranes and they'll come through the screen now if you're lucky enough and you know that it's a female you can strip the eggs right if it's still alive into the Ziplock bags that's what I normally do now you take those eggs you have that are free and you put it into the water and salt mixture typically go 30 minutes I usually go about 20 because I know that I'm going to be eating eating with this caviar and it's not going to last very long a little bit longer it'll get more saltier and you can adjust the salt sometimes I use about 14 12 to 14 oz for my taste but this stuff is wonderful once you bring it properly. I recommend this book buy Jack Whelan books name smoking salmon and trout tanning freezing pickling and more you can get off Amazon I tell people it's the Bible of canning and just about anything else we're going to do you can cross uses for other species too he has a whole section like how to make loxs and it's wonderful I've done it it takes about 2 days to make Nova lox but there's lots of good stuff in that book and it's worth it really you'll be amazed

[@patriciamontague6035]

Happy you could get away and fish?Hi from Colorado Springs 😀

[@BauerLawncare1979]

👍

[@Westernstar123]

Nice catch. You’ll get the fillet’n figured out. We are building our off grid home too. But we are in Alabama. It’s hot as hell.😂…

[@user-rj4gs1wl8w]

❤

[@waderue]

ya the baby can see very far at the age but he is so cute and Happy 4th of July and I hope get all the fish you need so good luck

[@jamesfrancisco7308]

It is easer if you use a spoon on the blood line.

[@nancyjohnson7744]

Awesome job, a lot of meals on the table. Really great this winter. I'm happy for you many blessings, and thank you for sharing and keeping safe in all you do ❤

[@brandonpacheywiredforlife]

Nice haul! On another note how does Starlink work for y'all?

What part of Alaska are you located? I bought property in Wasilla a few years ago but cant make the jump to actually do anything with it, or move to Alaska. Always loved Alaska. Visited 15 times in the last 20 years. New subscriber

[@KrissBartlett]

Wow i love to try to catch fish like that but hear in Australia nothing like that hear very good like that your wife likes cutting up the fish usally its a man;s thing but its good very well done never seen all that done you did good job

[@Volusia1]

Low and slow for smoking; get the meat as high away from fire as you can. Takes a bit longer to get it cooked through but you won’t overcook

[@robertconner5126]

Those fish head would have made a nice soup.

[@WhiteBreadThunder-op6in]

You should not be cleaning those fish in that stream by your house. . Those kasilof fish are full of round worms. Now, you are spreading parasites to a watershed that does not have parasites. I’m serious. Please be a good neighbor.

[@remotelifealaska]

That is a good point that never crossed our minds. We have always cleaned fish in the same water they came from. Thank you for bringing it up or we likely would have done it again.

[@WhiteBreadThunder-op6in]

It’s a good idea to freeze those Kasilof fish before doing sushi. Be cautious with caviar, too. I won’t caviar Kenai fish, either. In a couple weeks you can get pristine silvers in your backyard that are parasite free, for caviar.
