    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..

      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!

    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

    Alaska gets me feeling jealous! here in BC its a little different, less abundance (so they say) and no use of dip nets, usually a limit of 1-4 salmon a day if they are open at all. its essentially based almost entirely for recreation, and only native peoples get the ability to harvest large amounts of fish to feed themselves. sockeye has hardly even been open past 6 years at all. (and when sockeye are open its a goofy floss n snag show cause we cant use dip nets) 🤦

    • @alaskacabinadventures
      @alaskacabinadventures  Год назад +1

      Yeah, I not a big fan of "snag" fishing either. You can supplement your harvest with rod and reel here as well but the dip net gets me more than enough for a season. We are lucky to have the abundance here that we do, and I hope it stays that way for generations to come.

    • @coleomo
      @coleomo Год назад

      @@alaskacabinadventures I hope it does too, natural abundance and our ability to take part in harvesting said abundance is falling, Im not sure why everyone enjoys strictly buying from the grocery store to feed themselves in most places. if we all spent money trying to harvest our own fish rather then buying commercial im sure it be more sustainable.
