How would you cook the world’s most expensive salmon?
So big, so nice, so tasty fish,. Thank you for good video 👌🔥👍
Might just have to go raw sushi style on this bad boy
Gravlax! 🤤😆
On a spit over my fire pit 🤤
Honestly, I’d grill it with very little seasoning by using only a small amount of salt and pepper. Let the flavor of the meat be the main part. Add some grilled asparagus with it and you have a meal ment for a king
Sold all the crap parts.and kept the best for himself. Legend.
That fish has no crap parts, at least not in the sense you mean it.
@Kaiyanwang82 It has crap parts when you have a kitty with diarrhea.
This
@Kaiyanwang82 its a satire. If youre a big fish eater like me, you would know salmon belly and collar are the best part not the meat/fillet part
@einzchillen The best part is the caviar if it's a spawner, then the belly then the collar. I just caught two feeder kings yesterday. Sadly there is no mature roe in a feeder king.
Never realized how lucky I was to live in Alaska. I have a freezer FULL of multiple kinds of Salmon. I get sick of eating so much damn Salmon. I should start sending people Salmon as long as they cover shipping costs. I’d love to share during dip netting season.
That was what happened to me when I used to work in Ketichican
Lucky
Me too, however I'm in california with freezers full of salmon and game meet
@NachoAverageJoeetrying to sell any? I live in san diego now lol
Where do i sign up . Im in Kentucky
You can tell by the face of the salmon that it can't believe how expensive it is.
😧
It's not complaining
Dumb
Fish: "I should have negotiated with the fisherman before I jumped into his boat!"
That's hilarious bro 😂😂
12:23 Bro at this point your cameraman is fidgeting and wants the video to end so he can eat too
6:02 AM and Reed drops a video while I'm drinking my morning coffee. Hell, yeah, it's gonna be a good day!
My man!! Enjoy your day brother, happy fourth eve.
Ayyyyyyyye 🎣🎣
@reedthefishmonger Is New Zealand king salmon good?
New Zealand Ora Salmon is the best tasting salmon in the world. It is often called the Wagyu of fish because melts in your mouth with it's luscious butteriness.
Hello I am a trout fisherman. I clean my fish at the stream to keep it tidy. I appreciate the attention to cleanliness in your processing room. I swear sometimes people just don’t like fish because they are in stinky old coolers all day!
Can you help with some trout fishing tips
@TheRIJO619I can try. Keep hiking the stream you fish up and down for deep holes and undercut banks. Also drive roads alongside it if you can. Look for pull offs or other vehicles and go to that spot another day. I recommend a net, fanny pack/chest pack full of trout magnets, hair jigs, rooster tail spinners, phoebe spoons. A small bobber for slow days when you see them feeding top water with no bites else wise, it keeps your trout magnet or jig in the water column and streamline their feeding in more naturally. Use an ultra light powered rod and a reel that balances just above the reelseat. Probably most important for heavily pressured waters would be to use 8-10lb braid mainline to 2lb Flourocarbon leader with an Alberto or another knot. Hope this helps! Any other questions let me know!
I release whatever I catch.
Good for you. I hope they are native species.
Reed, when I worked retail years ago, they always doubled and even sometimes tripled the price of their cost! I'm glad you have the customer base that will support your business.
Thank you brotha! We’re at 50-75% for most fish and rely on volume. Our process is pretty labor heavy as well. You’re right! We’re very fortunate to have a supportive customers
@reedthefishmonger I wish I could afford a fish like this. Hell I wish I lived close to a fish monger/market but I’m a bit too inland at this point.
@marsrecordings man, for Erewohn, you gotta atleast 5X the price.
Dude, I'm 65 old and fish for tuna every year off the Massachusetts coast (both blue and yellow fin, as well as some big eye) I never seen a more delicious looking salmon in my life! Lol😂
The way you handle those trimmings is nothing short of spectacular! Keep up the good work guy!!
Those Salmon bellies are the Wagyu of fish.
🔥🔥🔥
Right? If I'm paying $75.00/lb I want that belly attached!!! I'm sure there is a very good reason for cutting it off and tossing it in the trim pile, but every time I see it, my heart breaks a little bit.
Salmon bellies are the best part! Oh, so good smoked.
Anyone that throws any salmon belly away is either a rookie or a criminal.......smoked salmon belly is the best smoked fish other than smoked black cod
@MedicGoalie84 Because he wants to eat it himself, that's a pretty good reason in my book.
2:36 they’re caught in open water commercially. Not the river. When they’re returning to the river to spawn. 🤦🏻♂️🖖🏼❤🇺🇸
The king salmon is called king for a reason. It is the largest of the five species and also the best tasting in my opinion. I was a commercial fisherman in Alaska for 18 years fishing for salmon in southeast Alaska. I have always said if I have to have a last supper, it would be grilled king salmon. Reed, I hope you come across a white king salmon, someday. They taste delicious and that white meat is something to see.
Agree on white king. But....... reds from Copper River are the best tasting salmon......
@georgeallen7667 I perfer the kings! I do think the reds freeze/last better but fresh king from the river tastes like heaven! too bad they closed them to the PU folks this year.
@georgeallen7667 I can't tell the difference between them or reds from the Kenai. i love them all
@deweyhobie where in SE? I've been working down here for a while, at Neets Bay currently.
@CMAN907 There isn't really a difference other than the marketing and how they are treated when caught. Bristol bay guys catch way more reds than the copper guys but they don't treat them the same and that is why the price is different. Its changing now though as more people are doing RSW instead of deck loading them. The copper red also are the first ones to come back. I used to help produce over 20 million reds that went down the copper every year. I'm not just some keyboard warrior
12:57 I worked on a floating processor in Dutch Harbor, AK in the early 90s during salmon seasons. Reed's correct in saying the window for harvesting these guys is NARROW. One of the benefits we were allowed was to purchase as much fish as we wanted. I always came back with a big King and 50lbs of Reds. The work itself was tough, dirty, and never-ending, but, maaaaaan was it ever worth it to bring home as much fish as I did.
I’m just drooling the whole time you’re cooking the trimmings 😂😂
Recalling that carnivorous barbecue originated with crafty cooks using the less desirable portions.
My father won the King Salmon Derby in Vancouver in 1963 with a 47 lb. fish. Compare to the 29 pounder above. I grew up looking at that fish mounted on the wall, lol.
A 30lb King is not "gigantic". It's slightly above average, but that's about it. My dad caught a > 40lb King one year, and it didn't even place in the top 100 at the Sitka Salmon Derby that year. My personal best is 52lbs. And most years the derby winner was 65lbs or bigger. Biggest on record is over 120lbs.
3:40 yup, thats not farm raised
I saw a salmon like that jump out of the water full breach one time, like it was an orca. Right before I cast. It was taunting me😅
The Alaska bear hunting this fish for free😂😂
Lucky bears no minimum size nothing :p
I grew up in Alaska. Commercial Fished Copper River for 15 years. Currently I reside in Oregon. After catching my first Columbia Spring King salmon March 15th I was blown away how phenomenal it tasted!!! It definitely topped Copper River King Salmon. Period!!!
Gorgeous. You can see how remote and fast Copper River is on Google Earth. Just getting there must be a chore.
It is!
yes it is, I'm driving down to Chitina from Fairbanks Monday to go dipnetting for sockeye salmon. We are not allowed to keep any kings we catch unfortunately as the escapement level has not been met yet.
@brianlotze5830 I saw an eo a few weeks back closing southeast king fishing to non-residents. that's going to be brutal for the lodges and charters that specialize in that.
It is also by far the most dangerous river in AK in the lower stretch where you dipnet. People used to die every year dipnetting.
and here I am. eating a almost expired salmon can lol
😂❤
Look at money bags here eating canned salmon! Us street dwellers are limited to value time chunk light. 😂✌️
You want some good stuff, get a Costco membership. Got their frozen skin on salmon fillets and loving them
At 48 years old I finally had a chance to try one of these last weekend. Absolutely amazing.
Most articulate fishmonger I’ve ever seen
Beautiful fish well prepared
Thank you my friend!
11:07 yep that definitely says special stuff on the bottle
hey reed im a seafood manager myself and I gotta say, your videos have helped me learn so much more about my job and how to get better at what im doing. Thank you for showing everything in such detail
as an alaskan, i do admire the fact that you use most of the fish as we do. although the king salmon population has been dropping and selling wild salmon doesn’t seem very sustainable as a solution. elders always say there was never a limited time to fish, never 12 hour periods nor net size laws. the king salmon you’re eating used to be as long as you’re tall, and believe me i’ve seen pictures. just imagine the average king salmon length was like 5 feet. but others throughout the world have found the greatest food source; my homeland, and sell them in millions of restaurants throughout the world.
The crazy thing is, other then size(ours simply are not as large on average), the king salmon fishing in the great lakes is like it was in Alaska 30 years ago. I just got back from the Manistee and they are just coming gin good numbers, hooked 15 in 2 hours. They average about 20 lbs here, but a couple years ago a kid took a 50 lb fish out of Ludington(officially weighed 47,k but had dried out for several hours!).
The beauty of growing up in the PNW in the 70s was catching 30 to 50 pound fall chinook on the Oregon coast. A couple hundred dollars worth of rod, reel and gear and we caught our own. You can still cat h your own but the over 30 pounders aren't as common.
Caught my biggest chinook in the lower 48 on the Kilches river about 12 years ago. Too bad most of the big ones gone...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉@eriks9576
I buy Copper River salmon from a processor in Alaska. I buy in bulk to keep the cost down below that $39.00 a pound retail price . Definitely great eating! I would LOVE to have a whole fish of that size. Thanks Reed - just love your videos man
Thanks for watching my friend!
imagine other humans telling other humans when they can go fish for fish that they had nothing to do with creating
Excellet breakdown of the entire fish and demonstration of how every part of the fish can be used. Majority of North American consumers are only familiar with the fillets when it comes to salmon but the remaining parts can be appreciated so much. As a recreational angler in BC who has chinook salmon readily available throughout most of the year (and yes, from stocks that have fat content as high or higher than specimens from the Copper), I find it absolutely nuts to be paying $80/lb (USD?!) to enjoy the taste of chinook salmon. We are incredibly spoiled.
I grew up in the 80s in Sacramento, California. There were so many salmon in the Sacramento River that you could throw a bare hook into the water and snag one lol. This sounds bad but....back then people used to feed salmon to their pets lol. Nobody really liked salmon, it was NOT popular in the US.
'm sure the taste is different due to differing feed(more fish, no krill or shrimp), but I understand your thoughts on cost, as I'm in Michigan and Lake Michigan is absolutely full of Chinook and Coho. On a good day on the Manistee or Pere' Marquette, I'll hook 50 plus and land maybe a quarter f em(smaller tight rivers with a ton of fallen trees). On the lake itself, a good day will still number in the dozens. I can have fresh salmon any day I want, save dead of winter(NO one in their rifgh mind is fishing the lakes after early December!).
1 gotta remember the collers of my salmon next time 2 do you ever process any steelhead
Awesome I love king salmon, I’m going up to Alaska soon to fish for salmon and halibut and can’t wait to bring back meat like that
That’s awesome, I hope you get a monster!
Thanks!
I’ve paid way more than that for salmon at a restaurant that I’m certain was $9.99 a pound at Costco. $75 a pound for Copper River seems like a bargain.
🤯🤯🤯
I've heard of them going for up to $140.00 lb in NY or was that for a meal?
Excellent video as always, Reed! Thanks!
$1000 is less than a dozen eggs at Sprouts
For real. 😂 inflation is out of hand!
The best character 😂😂
Come on Reed, you’re going to make me late for work releasing a video this early in the day! 😂
Sorry, my friend! 😂 I hope you have a great day at work!
@reedthefishmongermuch like you I love my job, so it’s going to be wonderful. Keep up the great work brother
Who else was drooling a bit watching all of the various parts getting cooked?
Declines in king runs in the Copper and other rivers are a serious concern. While king is great to catch and eat, sockeye is much more abundant and affordable. The sockeye run this year is 55% above the 10 year average while kings are a fraction of what they were.
Kings seem like a luxury item at the cost of the population up and down the Pacific coastal rivers. Sockeye are a yummy choice :)
Go to Michigan or Wisconsin and you can catch King Salmon all year long as long as there is no ice on Lake Michigan
9:08 75.00 a pound what the heck is going on here 😯
That’s not even that expensive for what it could sell for
I’ll go to the back door and buy that trim pile! 😋
The only downside of watching these amazing videos is how bloody hungry you get during it......
Looks im off to the fish 🐟 market 😋 🙌 😍
And also the stupid murican tarded seasoning
One day in the 90's my dad and uncle caught 2 very large kings on downriggers in lake huron in rogers city michigan. Made the local paper. Best eating salmon to this day. Unreal flavor. Lasted 2 years in the freezer.
Great video as always Reed, beautiful fish! Especially those collars, after you cooked them and pressed on the meat my mouth was watering. It's all good of course but that looked like the prime portion of that fish to me. Have a great 4th of July!
Thank you brotha!! Hope you have a killer fourth too with even better food!
Ate copper river king this thanksgiving
Right on that’s a nice king. Love those fish. I live in the PNW and my back yard is the puget sound and am fortunate to caught salmon King and Coho. Fell in love fishing for them growing up,now my son and I are out fishing every weekend when the season is open. As always another great video 🤙🏻🇺🇸🎆 Happy 4th
Caught the same out of Puget. Love me some Coho. My GF's younger brother has a house on the sound, lucky and unlucky bastard...lol. He was disabled as a teen in a car accident, got a few million in a settlement, first thing he did was buy a house on the sound, years ago. Needless to say, he has zero trouble getting us to come over for some 'caretaker' duties. 😛
I worked in Alaska on a salmon boat 20 years ago. That year - I caught a king salmon in a river with a fishing rod - on the way to Kodiak Island to hopefully land a job - but had not knowingly only bought a regular fishing license prior.. not a second one, specifically for king salmon. A trooper came up to me after the big catch, took away the fish - and gave me a fine for 100 dollars!! I was on the cover page of the Anchorage daily news the next day, as a reporter had taken a photos and covered the story.. I was absolutely gutted.. because I was really broke and hungry at the time....
Bro Reed, THIS is how you wake up your subscribers. From now on, this is expected, lol!
Now for the big question of the day, where did you get that enormous spatula, what is it called, and how can I get one?
Ok, those are three questions rolled into one, but I need that spatula. I already have two of those horse brushes. Ordered it a while back after watching another one of your videos. Lol!
Hahaha thanks so much for the feedback!! Which part is the new expectation? I want to deliver on that! 🙌 The Spatula is from Recteq, the same company that makes the grill and smoker I use.
Recteq, got it brother. Having the Mrs order it now
I live in India and still love binge watching your videos. I love fish so much and would love to try some of the stuff you put out but we don't get the same type of fish here, for obvious reasons. I still love the fish that we have here though, hopefully I get to try some of the western fish someday! Love your videos!
I really appreciate you watching from so far away, and I hope you get to try this one day!
Delete shit India
@reedthefishmongerno he won't ever
Gimme some king mackerel/surmai grilled over charcoal with some tamarind, chili, and garlic and I’ll be a happier man than if you throw me 90% of the salmon you get in the states (stuff like what’s in this video being an obvious exception). Hard pass on rohu though.
The picture I have is a 22 pound native I caught on the last day of keeping them .! I was completely shocked and on glass .! Also I was the only one to pull one up out of the ghost hole in Garibaldi, Oregon .!! Should have sold that fish but i enjoyed every lil peace of it .!!
Your gonna need lots of bagels n cream cheese, excellent job on processing that awesome salmon. 😋
Hard to beat smoked salmon on a bagel with cream cheese!
I was thinking the same, all the stuff you/he grilled would be perfect to pull off the bones and mix with chives, cream cheese and capers, a little lemon juice, then spread on a bagel.. YUM!!!
Salmon cheek meat goes crazy!!
I used to catch those in the back yard when I lived in nor commifornia!
Hey Reed, great video. As someone who grew up in Cordova, Alaska commercial fishing these same fish with my dad you did a great job representing our product. I may have missed it, but one of the reasons our fish is so expensive is due to the Copper River itself. It being a very long, fast moving river, these fish have much higher omega-3 fat levels than most salmon. As someone with the luxury of being able to go catch these fish myself I don’t have to pay the extremely high retail cost. That being said it is 100% worth it. If $75 a pound is out of your price range, you can also get some sockeye salmon. It will be cheaper and I actually prefer it over the king salmon. If you haven’t tried a Copper River salmon, you need to. It will completely change your perception of what salmon should taste like.
You’re 100% correct… I caught 40 reds dipnetting the Copper River this year and yielded about 120lbs of packaged Sockeye Reds this year. River candy from heaven, haha!
Love the transparency of you on the prices and the cost explaination make me even easier to understand how the market work❤
Love seeing the use of the trim even as just a quick and simple cook.
Always my friend! The more we use the less we need to take 🤙
That Belly meats the best it has the most fat content.
Amazingly detailed video. 75 bucks per pound for this beauty is a bargain.
I love salmon! Had it fresh from the ocean when I was in Alaska, and I don't consider it anything but the best fish to eat...period!
I’ve tried fish from coast to coast. King salmon and halibut are simply the best.
Absolutely awesome video. I've got a new bucket list catch now. Kudos!
Bro you are get monster's what next shark
Shark videos definitely coming
Excellent VDO. You did an excellent job of getting to most meat out of that monster King. I think you also got the best tasting meat from the grilled ''trim'' parts.
This is the most expensive salmon you can buy from a fish market because they can legally sell them. There is much higher quality salmon in different rivers that aren’t allowed to be commercially fished.
100% check rod caught wild Atlantic salmon in Ireland for expensive.
The highest quality salmon is caught in the ocean, not rivers.
You are 💯 correct 💯
@jasonhurdlow6607 100%! Thats where they live. River is where they spawn. Once they enter the river they have per definition begun the deterioration of their meat.
Excellent video, thanks!!
8:13 Copper River Sockeye are better…
I agree.
I just caught one today
Chode River Sack Eye mops the floor with both of them
I've only dipnetted in Chitna once, but I can agree. Reds are waaaayyyyy better
I disagree as do most people i know here in Alaska. Kings from the Yukon and Copper river can fetch up to $ seven dollars a lb. And much higher once at the market. I've heard $75.00 for half lb. Yukon king in Seattle.
I wonder if this is the world's most expensive salmon
Great video dude!!
Your explanation of the costs for a market is self high end fish products is fantastic. People rarely know what goes into pricing a particular product. Thank you for explaining.
Thanks for watching my friend!! 🙏
You gotta sell for more than a 25% mark up ($75/lb). Why not closer to $80/lb at retail (about 35%) for a premium product like this?
11:06 SPECIAL SH!T 😂. I like how you made it PG
As a kid, I grew up on the St Clair River. This river, for those that don't know, connects the southern end of one of the Great Lakes, Lk Huron to Lk St Clair and separates Canada from the US / Michigan by a 1 mile wide river. (The St Clair River). Fishing off my boat dock- I left a couple of fishing rods out constantly day and night with pencil plug lures. Caught many many Chinook Salmon, Steelheads,, and Coho's....along with tons of walleye. The whole gable end of my boathouse was lined with the heads (dried in the sun skulls) of Chinook Salmon. I just liked the agressive look of the Chinook Salmon skull. The skulls hung on nails. As I caught larger ones, I would replace the smaller skulls with the larger skulls...some even took the space of 2 smaller skulls.
Sounds like an awesome childhood! Thanks for sharing!
We used to salt the heads in a bucket and do the same thing. The gums would recede and really show off those teeth. Back in the day Mill Creek near Ruby, Mi had some in there and we could catch some after work for dinner.
Chinook don't live in the Great lakes
@DSSytacctThey don’t?
@DSSytacctwanna bet
The columbia river spring schnook is right there with those
You got the best parts of the fish. I'm a white guy, but with a Chinese wife and mostly Asian friends and family, if I called you for a shipping order, I would much prefer the parts of the fish that you ate over the parts that you sold. Dunno if you tried this, but after the meat is off the bones, soak in soy sauce or teriyaki sauce for a few hours then roast over a fire or toaster oven. The bones turn into delicious, calcium rich snack chips.
Is this just for salmon bones?
Have you tried eating the eyes? I know it sounds weird, almost taboo, but they’re delicious when Asians make soup with salmon heads. The collars, the cheeks and all the soft tissue on the head taste really good.
I've never tried to roast the pin bones. Great idea! I'm going to try that. Here in Hawaii the pin bones and the head of the fish are always eaten! I've been fishing in Alaska and always ask for the pin bones and head to bring back. Everyone gives me a strange look when I ask. Scrape the pin bones with a spoon and use the meat for salmon burgers, fry the pin bones and flake the meat off to make salmon salad sandwiches or just enjoy them with with a beer. Smoke the pin bones and collars! Slow roast the head over charcoal!
your wife is American as are your friends and family. My Family stopped saying they were russian the day they landed on ellis island circa 1927. Don't say asian ever again or go to Asia to live.
@GODBLESSAMERICA2028 Unless his wife was born and raised in the US and has at least one American parent, she is not American. That's like saying my Great great grandpa and great grandpa on my mother's side are American. They aren't, and neither is my great grandmother. My great great and my great grandpa came to the US from Sicily in 1928. My great grandma is Polish, and she came to the US right around the same time.
Only my grandmother, great uncles, great aunts, first and second cousins, my mother, uncles, aunt, my sister, and myself are American since we were born in the US.
Was $36lb wholesale 15 years ago
This fish can weight up to 50 KILOS (110 lbs) and even more. My mom's friend told they actually catched 30 kilo+ (66+ lbs) chinook in 80's in Kamchatka, Russia.
97lbs 4 oz is the record of largest one ever caught. so 110lbs is a bit of a stretch.
Aloha. The first part is not true.
@307Mic there are comerically caught kings that were over 100 lbs. but those are super rare! The biggest King I caught commercial fishing was 85 pounds with another boat in the fleet catching a 95 lber that week.
I commercially for 5 years and Chignik Bay Alaska. The largest king salmon ever caught by net on record was in Southeast Alaska 125 lb. I fish with the guy on the Columbia River for walleye he had a picture of two salmon he caught on the Kenai and 89 and a 92 pounder. That 92 pounder was a fifth largest salmon ever caught on rod and reel. We were anchored up off Kodiak Island and one of my crewmates was mooching a herring hoping to catch halibut salmon Ling Cod whatever damn guy hooked a 90 lb Kenai River King we got into the boat that thing was massive and delicious.
@littlegoobietrue. I was only thinking IGFA.
Great info , thanks
Guaranteed it is NOT a "FARMED" salmon.
Correct!
It'll pass any taste test too. Pan fried with skin on please!
Love your professional way to take care of fish.
Hopefully, this is not a stupid question, but why are you using a long slicing knife instead of the smaller fillet knife? Not questioning your knife skills, just the choice of tools for this particular fish.
im a fish monger aswell, from my experience i’ve found it easier to break down fish with a larger sized knife. the only times i move down blade sizes if for more intricate filleting/pinbones. using a larger knife properly gives the fish a “glossy finish”
No it's a good question. And I'm sure a stupid answer.
Think that's big,go check how the Japanese cut up tuna, wholly crap and super super sharp and extremely expensive.. you might understand them..
As a kid growing up in the Seattle area, my dad took us salmon fishing out of Neah Bay… often cruising clear out to Tatoosh Island. He would smoke it all himself. And the scrap was cooked up into “fish head soup” for the hunting dogs. Later in retirement he would fly up to Copper River and fish. He said the spot to catch them is in the mouth of the copper river where the fresh water mixes with sea in a swirling turbulence… dunno why, but he would always bring back HUGE fish!!!! Also in Seattle area seafood restaurants there is always a “Copper River Salmon” season special and we all flock to eat at those establishments….
Honestly Reed, $75 per pound is too light. I'd push it closer to $100. As far as cooking it, I love cold smoked salmon. And the bellies are the best cut for hot smoking.
I thought the same and was surprised at his retail price
Thanks for the comment my friend!
Ya 75 seems low for what he pays.
The amount that is waisted on yelled. Would have to charge high price. Never would I let anybody cut my salmon the way you do.😢 that is so sad
Thanks Reed - that was really interesting :)
The trim and ribs makes excellent tacos! Columbia river early springers are hard to beat!
I always get very hungry when watching this channel. I love eating fish. Most of the fish I see here, aren't sold in the Netherlands.
The nice thiing about living in Cordova, AK, is that someone always has King or Red available if you want it. Whether it's a friend, relative, or one of the canneries, if it's in season it's available fresh (and if not, usually available frozen)
Such a beautiful fish, thank you.
This isn't the sort of video i usually watch but was fascinated from start to finish, interesting and love your enthusiasm
Great tip on the curry comb!!
Beautiful premium fish, thx for the vid👍
Bought some trigger fish from yall a couple weeks ago! Keep killing it Reed!
TY Reed the Fishmonger, the way u monger a fish is a thing of beauty... and when it's a fish like this, it can bring a tear to the eye.
I was just at klutina this weekend (copper center) caught so many fish was a good time.
Thanks for the great info . I have extended family in Alaska, but never tasted this fish
Went out of HalfMoon Bay in the late 90’s on a charter and our boat limited out on King Salmon. I drove directly out (40 miles through Bay Area traffic) to the East Baymy Godmother and she turned both my fish to Gravalax. She kept one, I kept the other
I grew up eating fresh king amongst other seafood and shellfish quite regularly in Southeast Alaska.
I’ve had both. I prefer Columbia river springer personally 🤷🏻♂️
That's what I'm talking about...good to see grilling good fish with some seasoning....and your happy to be off work.
Memories of my Lake Michigan trolling days.
Awesome video brah!!!
