[@widgets-widgets5210]

Hey Outlander, it’s a big place and not all of it requires freezing :) I was twenty years in Southeast (Sitka) and am going back up as soon as possible (currently in Colorado). Sure there’s rain like you’ve never experienced before but when the sun comes out, it’s truly unbelievable. Also, you can’t hardly starve or die of thirst.. pretty much, if you can still fall down and chew, (it may not taste great) you’re gonna live 👍🏼. Get there as soo as you can. Good luck!

[@mrg09211976]

@@widgets-widgets5210 even the sections that don't freeze like Sitka are overpriced and not worth it. You can get all the Salmon you want and have a better quality of life in the Northwest. Plus you don't have a brain dead Republican Gov that is destroying the state and running out big business.

For a couple of Cheechakos your getting everything right. A cheechako is someone who has moved here from anywhere else and still has their accent from say Alabama or Missouri and have not lived here for some say twenty years and others come in at anywheres from a year to ten years... some natives claim you have to be born here.... I have lived here longer than all other places combined and never leave state. My heart was so happy when I wasn't a "new comer" but to be truthful, if a limit be necessary then a year would be somewheres near right. Its a heartfelt thing about this state being home above all other places you have stayed or lived. I hope that in my heart that this is your home and that you never leave. I know lots of people save up for when they retire that it will be in Arizona or warm state. Most all return as it really isn't the same when it gets into you. My favorite is the King but reds and silvers are second as its hard to decide and pink is dog food or bait.... I used tons of it for a garden and it did not work well but I think that I overwhelmed it with the fish. After a couple years it got better but no more furt for a while

[@widgets-widgets5210]

I was tempted to throw out the cheechako information, but as I’m currently out of state, it’s just not right. I’ll be back as soon as possible though. 👍🏼

Cut the vodka and the parsley. ;) And you just have to grava the salmon for two days in the fridge. And after that it should keep for a couple of days. Gravad salmon is very common in Sweden and everyone serves it at the traditional smörgåsbord at christmas, easter and midsummer. Try this with baked potatoes: 200 grams of gravad salmon, 2 dl of creme fraiche or sourcream, 4 tablespoons of mayo, 1 tablespoon grated horseradish, 4 tabelspoons chives and a pinch of pepper. And don't forget you can also grava salmon that has been frozen.

​@@beckybundle4826 - It was like heaven to me. I was 11 years old (1960), and the world was literally my oyster (which we would harvest from shore). You could travel miles and miles along the shore, between Bonita Springs and Naples and not see a house.. much less a hotel. I don't know what Bonita Springs is like now, but when we lived there, there was a store, a bait shop and a service station.. that's all. We would go less than a mile to the canals around there and catch 20 - 30 pound snook off those tiny bridges at night, working a top water lure (using a large cane pole), in a figure "8" motion and the phosphorus in the water would drive the snook crazy. Catching blue crabs that were 8 to 10 inches across was common. Yeah, it was simple... simply wonderful. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@downstreamup8897]

They are all good, just variety. Even the same type of salmon can vary in taste depending where you get it. Also to really know the taste they need to be bright and silvery with no body or color changes, because as their bodies change as they head to their spawning areas their meat quality changes.

Are the salmon who have spawned and are dying on the banks good to eat? Do they count towards you limits since they are dying 🤔?

[@steveg1596]

My 2 cents: If you are a bear or an Eagle, yes. Humans maybe not so much. I have lived and Fished in Alaska and have caught all 5 species. Once the Salmon enter fresh water they start to change color, eventually the meat starts to change color and becomes less firm. The closer they get to spawning the more the meat becomes unpalatable to me. Once they spawn they usual die within a few days. So as to your question, I personally would not eat a spawned out Salmon.

You also need to understand that some of these fish are in a terminal fishery like in seward, which means the rivers (if there even is one) won't be there for all these fish to spawn. They literally die in the bays (Resurrection in this case) and leave the whole area stinking of rotten fish and never spawned.

As a Swede i got very excited that you decided to do the gravlax, or as we call it "Gravad Lax". A very ancient way of preserving fish in Scandinavia. Gravlax has its roots over here, and it is first described in the province of Jämtland Sweden in the 14th century . It is probably older than that, and similar way of preserving fish has been described in known notes from the "viking age". I got excited, and then.. you added vodka?! Wth? 😂A true gravlax consist just sugar, salt, white pepper, fish and at the best times for luxury; dill. Fresh dill. Please try it, and skip the vodka, vodka is for Russians, and they can have it, but not in our Swedish fish! 😅After its done, carve it in really thin sheats, and eat it with cooked potato and cooked eggs with mayonnaise.

She said, “I like to bleed ‘em”... 😂

[@hobbyhomesteader5801]

I thought I heard her say that ... I was sad lol

[@danamama6766]

I'm sure it was said in a manner that was meant to mean be able to harvest them. Not in a bad way. She's to sweet.

You need to bleed out the fish before it taint the meat. I would hope that she does like to bleed them before putting them in the cooler.

festorfamine Yep, slice the Gills👍🏻

The drone and animal scenes were great. Like watching the preparation of the fish.

Still deciding what to do with salmon ? I’d be happy to supply you with my address, lol

[@charlenekociuba7396]

A place in Homer will mail you Salmon and Halibut, at a price.

Can you overnight to south Texas?

Having smoked and canned for many years I like to brine of 1 part non iodized salt and 1 cup brown sugar. Brine for 4 hours. Air dry. Put a few pinches more brown sugar on top then smoke. I also remove the skin if I’m canning once smoked. Dog loves the skin. (Dog also likes the salmon but I don’t want to spoil her so she just gets the skins) Smoking about half the normal time comes out more moist. But, there’s many ways to process fish. I like the way these two do many of their preserving. Good couple of kids. Thank you so much for sharing.

Is 12 fish the limit for the whole season or is it per day..when you go fishing..

[@rubbnsmoke]

6 per person per day.

[@leiflundquist468]

12 salmon for a hole seasan is not a bright comment... Must be a woman asking... 😁

[@rubbnsmoke]

@@leiflundquist468 The lack of logic would suggest so eh? LOL
