Smoking & Canning | Michigan KING Salmon

Todd came home from his visit to the cabin with two huge King Salmon. We of course wanted to try some fresh - so we pan fried some as a sampler. The rest, we canned. Half was brined and canned plain, and the other half we brined and then smoked before canning. We too inspiration for the brines from @SimpleLivingAlaska We're super excited to have this on our pantry shelves this winter, and look forward to do this all over again next fall ♥

I love that Rachel is sooooo proud! 🥰What an accomplishment! Great job Todd! 🥳Looks amazing & we’re proud of Rachel for listening to Todd’s advice on canning! 😂🙃 Blessings! 💕

[@shirleyjensen417]

I love Salmon. Thanks for sharing this. ❤

[@shamancarmichael5305]

What a special way to revisit your fishing success by treating yourselves to a delicious meal in the months to come. That's what I call sustainability!

[@interestedobserver9352]

What a wonderful addition to your pantry! Eric and Arial are definitely the couple to go to for salmon canning AND cooking recipes..love their channel. Is there a limit to how many you can catch? If so, Rachel you need to go with him to increase the harvest!!

[@1870s]

5 per person, per day

[@interestedobserver9352]

@@1870s Wow! Nice high limit. Definitely allows for enough to get your year's provision in a weekend at the cottage. Looking forward to seeing how the canned product turns out over time - if it tastes like lobster it's definitely worth the effort.

[@carmengibson]

Love Eric and Ariel’s channel!! Love the pride you have for your catch and how proud Rachel is of you!

[@carissalizotte8977]

Great job!! Haha! Enjoy! Fresh is always best!!

[@katiesmith3008]

My grandmother is from Ludington, MI and has been catching salmon and canning it for over 70 years. We LOVE IT! I used to live in Alaska and when we caught salmon there, I also canned it ☺️ Congratulations Todd!

[@dmacisaac9382]

Those are some big arsed salmon ! Well done Todd and Rachel

[@pink071602]

I love how Rachel is fangirling her hubby. It’s so sweet.

[@aaronmiller6972]

I also watch Eric & Eral, I'm envious of all the great salmon they get.

[@djnana1156]

Simply Living Alaska watching them smoke and can their salmon makes my mouth water. Like you guys they are the best! Your fish also sounds so good! Good job Todd!

[@hillarybanta3729]

Todd I’m so happy for you!! Consistency and faithfulness pays off for sure! Congrats y’all!

[@traciekowalski7664]

So tickled for you both. Todd for finally getting his fish and Rachel for all the salmon patties. I love that you both have strong childhood memories involving salmon.

[@galeharris6696]

Eric and Arielle were the first people I thought of referencing, they have some great videos on catching and preserving salmon, as you guys obviously know! Nice fishies, Todd!🐟

[@kellyhawes9293]

Both recipes for the canned salmon sound amazingly delicious! Those were a catch for sure!

[@terricrisman5281]

So happy for you! It is so much fun. Tip.... My dad takes the carcass and a spoon and gently scrapes all the meat from the bones and will make soup or patties from that "mush". No waste. We'll I am off to the freezer and find some steelhead for dinner. So happy for you.

[@No.1R3dneck]

Thar looks amazing! I hope you enjoy!

[@jenniferr2057]

A friend caught a white king in Alaska - I caught one that was pink. They were HUGE. She was offer $500 for her fish when we went ashore. Must be the lobster factor!

[@racheltalbott]

love love love love!!

[@DollyDarkside]

It's so funny to me that I can't have fish because it makes me sick. But I love watching people process the fish they catch. (Simply living alaska has some incredible and informative fishing videos)

[@daydreambeliever6603]

Eric and Arielle do some really yummy cooking with their Alaskan bounty. Your salmon is gorgeous Todd. I’m so pleased for you guys❤

[@Fearlesslion143]

Love Eric and Arial! Have been watching you both and them for a long time now! Love all the great advice and teachings on preserving food. You two are my husband and I later down the road. His beard is just like Todd's and we love all things homesteading! Hello from the east TN smoky mountains!

[@annstewart1983]

I love Eric and Arielle, they are great. They recommended your channel and here I am enjoying you guys.

[@ljtminihomestead5839]

I'm so glad you described what this fish tastes like. I hate fishy tasting fish, my husband and son loves any fish! I looked delicious!

[@jenniferr2057]

Just started watching.... Hoping you make broth from the carcass!

[@bjkandrews4806]

This is soooo AWESOME. Surprised you are not vacuum sealing some fresh to freeze for fresh eating... since you will have freezer space re 1 pig BUT I guess Todd could go back and attempt to catch more. So super awesome

[@theage3888]

I love how you guys complement each other. I tell the picture of my husband about you all the time. You remind me of us, you're like best friends.

[@dianekilbourne5734]

I also watch Simple Living Alaska, they do such a great job. I never knew King salmon wasn’t pink thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@maryzwierecki5646]

Never knew King Salmon was so different. I would love to try it. Probably nothing like having it fresh.

[@sheahawkins2552]

How exciting!! Your joy jumps off the screen! Way to go Todd and Rachel!

[@judyabernathy80]

Eric and Ariel are great canners, makers of awesome food, and accomplished homesteaders. Very much like the two of you! I love watching you both. I’ve learned so much. ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@lindagraff2484]

Rachel's excitement is contagious, lol

[@piratelass4u]

You guys are such an inspiration!! This is my first year going into full canning mode. I canned so much based on videos from how you do canning. Thank you for taking the time to share everything with us. I appreciate it!!!❤

[@Aishaoaktree1122]

In the Caribbean we make a soup we call fish tea with the middle of the fish and the fish head. Boil the fish first cut the fish smell with a small teaspoon of vinegar. Then add in your favorite veggies it's a light soup but filling. We add carrots green onion white onions chayote, pumpkin and potatoes. Sooo good. Tfs your catch and the canning process

[@2007KB]

I watch Eric and Ariel too. They have the smokin fish down! Look forward to when u try it! Good job catching the fish Todd 🎣

[@sarahmills3712]

[@vjohnson2400]

Bravo Tod great job, two beautiful fish. Chalk your good luck up to a combination of skill and all the stars being aligned for you. I would definitely keep all the bones and wastage and make the base for a fish soul or stew, yummmm.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I love how excited Rachel is!

[@ranaeebonella2655]

You guys are a breath of fresh air You’re awesome!!,❤❤❤

[@tonijohnson7132]

There's nothing more satisfying than adding a 3rd rack when canning. :)

[@brendadunham2442]

I grew up fishing and eating Lake Michigan. In Aug/Sept the women of the fisherman take their canners with them to the campgrounds. While the men are fishing the women are canning the fresh salmon. It was always cool. Some people had their little Jo Smokers. My Mom smoked some and then canned it, she also canned some with a red sauce and some with a spicey mustard. Delicious made into a salmon macaroni salad. Needless to say we ate well!

[@1870s]

How fun, what a great memory

[@jerreyhiatte7644]

my back was hurting till you got that fish love your video and the kitchen

[@janelleroads6011]

I don't blame you for being excited! What a wonderful catch!( fish AND fisherman) So happy for you!

[@marilyncapehart663]

I so love the love that you have for each other Todd & Rachel 10-15-2022👍🏽👍🏽♥️., I want some now

[@GHOSTINPLAINSIGHT]

My aunt used to can all the salmon we caught in the white river west of fremont Michigan. That was the late 70’s early 80’s. Man that stuff was good!

[@1870s]

Fremont is very close to our cabin ♥

[@sandrad682]

Oh yeaaaaaah. I was excited with you guys. I absolutely love smoked anything. I'm sure it will be great. Enjoy!!!!

[@tardis101]

[@cindyfinn4845]

My mom made salmon patties and made herself salmom loaf with diced onion and a egg cracker crumbs and I liked the loaf she put melted butter over it when she took it out of the oven.

[@hickoryhillinthebigwoods-r759]

I bet there is no comparison either. Wow! I am excited for you. I love salmon. I love fish.

[@bonniebell1104]

My brother just came back from Port Hope, Ontario. He had a few huge salmon the largest was 17lbs.

[@hann3671]

That fish looks so yummy! I wish I had someone who could teach me so much more about fishing. I love to fish and then eat it but I don’t know enough to go by myself.

[@maleesaparadis9889]

Congrats on the fish!!! Nice to have over the winter.

I could just feel the joy and excitement watching you both working together to can it. I don't know if I missed you saying this, but at the end when I saw those 1/2 pint jars I thought "oh yeah, they are going to do some very proud gifting of this catch! :)

[@LadysFarm]

Canning season for sure. Seems like that’s all I’ve been doing last few weeks. ❤

[@shellihall5645]

How exciting 😀

[@lynsmith2698]

I love Eric and Arielle’s channel and the way they brine and smoke it. I am excited for you. I am still waiting to can salmon. Great job Todd 🇨🇦🐟

[@sisselsworld]

Congratulations, Todd!

[@lilbitatatime3763]

Congrats! Nice to see couples canning together. Salmon looks wonderful in jars. This is when you almost wish one jar won't seal so you can taste the outcome. I enjoy watching Arial and Eric too. Thanks for sharing! ~ Kate

[@judydrouhard2651]

Looks amazing. Congratulations Todd! 🥰

[@valeriem3644]

I love Simple Living Alaska, always nice when KZbin crossovers happen with my favourite channels!! I assume King Salmon are a Great Lakes introduced species?

[@1870s]

Chinook salmon are often called "kings," and not without reason. Strong, hard-running fish that will spool a reel without adequate line. Chinooks, the largest of the Pacific salmon, have been stocked in the Great Lakes since the 1870s, but it wasn't until Michigan planted them in 1967 that they became established. With a large alewife population in the Great Lakes, conditions were right for Chinooks to prosper. They have become the dominant species in the Great Lakes salmon fishery. Since then, a multi-billion dollar sportfishery developed, particularly on lakes Michigan and Huron. Although significant reproduction has been documented -- and in some places produces the bulk of the fishery -- the DNR maintains a large Chinook stocking program, though numbers have been cut in recent years because of concerns about alewife populations. The state record Chinook salmon weighed more than 46 pounds, but in excess of 20 pounds are considered to be fairly large specimens these days.

[@belindaaiken9171]

Great catch. Thanks for sharing stay safe and have a blessed day 👍

[@tracyzabelle]

How beautiful that fish was..I could almost taste it

[@kathleenmaddox2346]

Excellent guys! Thank you so much 😊!

[@WishingonaFarm12]

That is so beautiful! What a blessing🙌

[@stevemichalski2538]

My dad an I would go up to Tippy damn for the salmon run. Great time. We also would go out on lake Erie for walleye an smoke them. We lived in Toledo back then. Looks great guys.

[@sylviabradley7355]

You went to the right people for salmon preservation. What a catch💥

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

I watch Simply Alaska too. They have such an amazing abundance there.

[@Greens5511]

Oh that sounds wonderful!!! Now I want to go salmon fishing! Or actually just send my hubby and son to go fishing :) Did anyone else notice how cute it was when both little doggies let themselves in the house? ...lol....that was so cute!!

[@1870s]

Our back screen door is broken, and they figured out how to let themselves in&out. It's quite nice actually ♥

[@maryburgis5295]

I love watch the young couple in Alaska too. I can just taste that beautiful salmon here in Gold River Vancouver Island 🇨🇦..

[@fallenangelwi25]

Congratulations on your catch 🐟

[@tonijohnson7132]

Wow. I can almost taste it. Great job Mr. Todd!!

[@DebbiHobbs]

Just before you mentioned Eric and Arial, I thought of them and all the salmon they can. I don't like fishing, but I sure enjoy watching some people fish. Todd, you had me on the edge of my seat while you wrestled with that beauty. Great catch! Now I'm off to watch you can and eat your bounty.
