How I got a YEARS worth of food in 3 HOURS | Alaska Salmon Harvest

[@CatWhiskering]

That's the best, when you just cook it right exactly to the opaque point. It's tender and perfect. Delicious. Amazing to see those massive fish practically jumping into the trucks.

[@dryflypro]

That was fun to see the dip net process: fish to table! Thanks! Someday I’d like to be there to help and have dinner! Dad

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Would love to have you, thanks for watching Dad!

[@victoriaschell2225]

I love salmon.. but I'm wondering why your not keeping the heads? You can do so much with making dog food, composting, give it to chickens, making fish head soup..

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Totally true, it just becomes almost too much to handle with just the 100+ lbs of filets. One day I’d like to get better at using the whole fish, heads, eggs, spine. But it takes more knowledge, storage space and a skill set I haven’t quite mastered yet. I feel ok knowing the parts I don’t use get returned to the ecosystem from which they came though. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for sharing your fishing trip !

[@johnclarke6647]

I caught 176 speckled trout one weekend on the Gulf -3 coolers full. This was back in the 70’s before they imposed limits. We ate trout for months after that. Never caught any salmon but have eaten a lot. They are great with butter and lemon juice on them. I cook them now on my 36 inch Blackstone griddle.

[@EarlFoulkes]

The head of the fish is the sweetest

[@susanhighfield8284]

Always love watching you Alaskans grabbing all that salmon. It might be free but you sure work for it! Looks delicious. Hey man soak those hickory chips in water for a couple hours before you use them in the coals. They smoke better and it makes your stash of wood chips go a lot further.

[@Doc1855]

We Love fresh salmon. We Bake / BBQ our salmon with garlic, basil and butter wrapped in aluminum foil. For our trout we cut oranges and lemons into slices (ringlets). We counter the ringlets orange, lemon, orange, lemon. Where the ringlets meet we put a small Pat of butter. We then add brown sugar and wrap in aluminum foil. Every 10 minutes we flip the fish until it’s cooked, flakey and moist. It is delicious When frying trout we put the fish in flour and cornmeal, add salt and pepper and fry it in a cast iron skillet until done. We usually cook cornbread, fry okra or cabbage to go with it

I just want you to know but it's a good videoSun sun you just made a big mistake at salmon row you could have made caviar and it's really easy so the next time you go bring your eggs home and use a mesh net to break the membrane in the eggs now pretty make 48 oz of water and 16 oz of salt I usually go 12 oz of salt is I'm going to eat the stuff more now it's usually 30 minutes but I do 20 minutes cuz that's my personal taste I don't want to get it too salty so now you have the brine pour the eggs into the brine stir them up really good and let him sit for whatever you like Go 25 minutes now have cheesecloth and dress it over a bowl and pour the eggs into the cheesecloth and you want to have the cheesecloth where you can get all the eggs into it and have it over up a bowl so it all the fluid drips out of it and let's sit in the refrigerator that way for 20 minutes pull it out now you can pour the eggs into a clean glass bowl and and with a nice big Ladle carefully put them into 6 oz jars and into the back of your refrigerator they will last up to 6 months if you put them all the way back there and keep them at about between 35 and 42 degrees far back or refrigerator let me tell you what some of the best caviar you'll ever have you can use this recipe on any fish eggs by the way this came from Jack Whelan book smoking salmon and trout it's on Amazon and it's one of the best books you'll ever get were salmon trout and other fish too it also has passages on making locks and marinated fish and all kinds of other stuff like smoking and it's bitching it's worth the money I was watching your video and I was crying seeing how much eggs is that those damn birds eat oh my God was you threw away about $500 worth of eggs because if you had to buy caviar salmon caviar that's about the price you threw out

OMG Ikura/salmon roe is to die for. If you had properly prepared you would never throw away

I live on the Kenai peninsula and keep most of the salmon roe I get or give it to people who will use it. It not only tastes good but is full of healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. I also keep a number of the fish heads for soup.

[@brinkee7674]

@@downstreamup8897 roe also makes a great bait

Just like a white boy. You throw away the fish heads. You can make a fish broth with that and freeze it. Or a good fish head curry. If you kill it, eat the whole thing.

Thanks John! Yes I know lots of folks keep their heads and eggs, I have more than enough with just the filets.

[@fionaforbes-rose675]

Amazing! Just curious? Do you leave the fish heads just like that on the shore? Do they all then get eaten by the seagulls? Just thinking of the mess left behind after thousands of fish have been dispatched. Tx

An amazing catch for sure! Do you clean up all the fish heads an entrails or just leave for the seagulls? I watched another Alaskan KZbinr and he canned his salmon, either way it sure looks mighty tasty!

Thanks! We clean at low tide, when the next high tide comes in it washes the beach clean and returns the fish waste back got the ecosystem.

Yall lucky in alaska, have all these super foods- moose and salmon. I believe resident gets automatical 1 moose per year (no draw)? With 35 salmon, thats a lot of goodies.
