Hi guys, I have been watching you for a while. Cool content. I am leaving in Sakhalin myself, basically a neighbor to Alaska 😀 Wanted to give you an advice on how to make caviar as the way you do it you loose probably 50% of eggs. Try using badminton rocket to remove the membrane, slowly and softly rolling caviar through it. You will be surprised by the quality and quantity of caviar. Also in Sakhalin we do so called “5 minutes” caviar. It’s a caviar you can eat right away. You pour hot salted water into the bowl with fresh caviar for a couple minutes. And it helps to remove the membrane really quick, membrane shrinks in a hot water and removes easily. Then you get a second round of hot salted water for another minute or so and here up you go, you can eat it right away. Try it for salt during the process to not oversalt it. Good luck and all the best!

Looks delicious. You mentioned wanting "more candy" or "more sugar". Try just demerara brown sugar and salt 4:1 or 5:1 sugar to salt ratio. I find the demerara gives a darker, more molasses type of taste that really shines through the smoke.

Rubbing the eggs on skeins is the best way I have found for separating them. A 3/8- 1/2 nylon mesh stretched out over a bucket lid and tensioned tight works great. For the brine dissolve as much salt as you can in your volume of super cold water to the point where you can’t dissolve any more. Rinse your eggs in a few rinses of fresh water then drop in the brine and vigorously mix by hand for one minute. Works for me every time. Great video, thanks for sharing!

another ak fisher here. try stabbing the skin side with the knife tip all over and then fork the meat side. allows more penetration of whatever brine you are using. i also dip into lemon juice before coating in the brine. helps flake the meat when your dealing with thicker fillets like keni or copper river reds.

It seems like you would lose a lot more of the glaze that way. I was thinking a removable rack could be an option. Even just something like their air drying rack could sit on top of the existing rack. Then that could slide out, glaze quickly, and get the whole tray back in the smoker. You would lose some heat, but perhaps less than what's lost while the smoker is wide open (and would end up with way fewer particulates in your eyes).

What temperature does your smoker maintain? It looks like your shelf in the smoker is just wood and hardware cloth. Why not build about 2-3 sections that can just slide in on top of the current rake? That way all the initial prep can be done over a table not being hunched over. That would also allow different thickness meats to be put on different sections allowing easy removal at different times.

At the last part of this segment , you were talking about preserving in the freezer to make it lase. I noticed you grow your own celery. You can dehydrate your celery, powder it, and apply it to your preserved meats. here is what happens. A lot of people use nitrates to cause their preserved meats to last longer. Home dryed celery salt when mixed into your meat preserving compound will turn into a natural sodium nitrate thereby causing your meat product to stabilize for longer shelf life with or without having a need for electrical storage. Again, I greatly enjoyed the video you shared and I wish I could be there. Thanks again

This vid is awesome, as is your result. I am constantly curing and smoking salmon, all kinds. I cure very similar to yours for 48 hrs to make lox. I do the smoked at 24 hrs, so it's a halfway between raw and that firmed cure. The air drying develops that important texture, but I've never done 24 hrs . Your results are excellent and the salmon itself is outstanding. Sockeye is best, hands down, but on the other end of the spectrum, the fatty atlantic salmon makes great smoked salmon too. The caviar is such a cool additional benefit, every bit as good as the salmon. You guys are doing it right!
