My brother lived in Alaska for over 10 years and he said the best he ever had it was there in Alaska with salmon, king crab and summer time garden. You took me back!
That's the best, when you just cook it right exactly to the opaque point. It's tender and perfect. Delicious. Amazing to see those massive fish practically jumping into the trucks.
I caught 176 speckled trout one weekend on the Gulf -3 coolers full. This was back in the 70’s before they imposed limits. We ate trout for months after that. Never caught any salmon but have eaten a lot. They are great with butter and lemon juice on them. I cook them now on my 36 inch Blackstone griddle.
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!
Great video Matt...looks like a lot of fun...amazing catch...that plate of food was making my mouth water...always looking forward to your videos...take care✌️
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
Always love watching you Alaskans grabbing all that salmon. It might be free but you sure work for it! Looks delicious. Hey man soak those hickory chips in water for a couple hours before you use them in the coals. They smoke better and it makes your stash of wood chips go a lot further.
Just watch my second video of yours tonight. Definitely loved this one. I am subscribing right now. Thank you for all that you do to bring awesome videos. And that salmon looked delicious.
Oh my wow, all those delicious fish, it's amazing how fast it went with such a big catch. And those fish look healthy and fresh. I myself live on a peninsula in a small fishing village here by the North Sea and the Limfjord, but that place was so cool to see. And you look like a total pro as you steer back and forth in the water. Good weekend to you all and I can see you enjoyed the delicious meal uhm, I was drooling in droves and streams, ha ha, Thanks for the great video,🙂❤🐟🦈🐠🐠🐙
Really cool channel! Found it yesterday and already binged hours of it. Really relaxing and calm. The cooking video at the end was so cool will try this dish for me and my girl.
I live on the Kenai peninsula and keep most of the salmon roe I get or give it to people who will use it. It not only tastes good but is full of healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. I also keep a number of the fish heads for soup.
Just like a white boy. You throw away the fish heads. You can make a fish broth with that and freeze it. Or a good fish head curry. If you kill it, eat the whole thing.
That is sooooooo awesome guys. My all time favorite fish is salmon. What a treat to be able to catch that many salmon all at once. Unfortunately, I live in North Carolina now and previously lived in Pennsylvania
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
You did a good job getting your fish. I'm surprised that Native lady didn't take your fish heads. The Native people make and enjoy Fish head soup. I am a purist, I only like salt and pepper on most meat and fish. Thanks for sharing.
All these ppl saying you're being wasteful have their heads up their butts. Everything you left behind is being used up by nature. Having said that, try keeping the heads, guts etc to bury in your garden. Crazy good fert.
Yall lucky in alaska, have all these super foods- moose and salmon. I believe resident gets automatical 1 moose per year (no draw)? With 35 salmon, thats a lot of goodies. Is it true you get unlimited reindeer hunting? Great content man. edit: have not found any videos on hunting on your chan, nor about protection, what kind of pistol, and hunting rifle. Would be great material.
nice catch but sorry I want variety too so offshore cod and halibut, crabs and shrimp. do you get squid definitely need that. that knife seems so wrong unlike the one used to fillet fish. that cook looks brilliant.
When filleting salmon always remove the blood line and if smoking with skin on always remember too remove before eating and if you steak them well once you taste it lol you’ll remember too take a couple,of seconds too flick out that blood line ! I love salmon baked on a cedar shake or smoked with a brine of salt and brown sugar … it’s amazing ! I promise ! I’m not a fan on the grill or pan fried …
Magic video of sock I salmon am from Scotland 🏴 we get wild Atlantic salmon every year but getting more endangered species all over uk on decline all over world soon species might be gone from all our rivers hear global warming doesn’t help either tbh great video mate
Wonderful vid. But one question. All that pure food, so why lighter fluid? Surely a chimney would meet your needs and eliminate the possible petrochemical aroma and taste.
Wow, you did well. 24 fish in a day. We didn't get that many this year on the Kenai. Timing is everything. That salmon with basil pesto looks delicious. You should try some with fiddlehead pesto or cow parsnip pesto. Very distinct flavors.
An amazing catch for sure! Do you clean up all the fish heads an entrails or just leave for the seagulls? I watched another Alaskan RUclipsr and he canned his salmon, either way it sure looks mighty tasty!
Just found your channel. Awesome job. That’s a lot of work but to be stocked up is amazing. Do you have a smoke shack to smoke some of those fillets or do you freeze all of them.
Not for long if you allow the copper mine to go ahead just like the Skeena run it’s all gone now Alaska has the last sockeye run in the world so please read up on this subject .
Amazing! Just curious? Do you leave the fish heads just like that on the shore? Do they all then get eaten by the seagulls? Just thinking of the mess left behind after thousands of fish have been dispatched. Tx
That was fun to see the dip net process: fish to table! Thanks! Someday I’d like to be there to help and have dinner! Dad
Would love to have you, thanks for watching Dad!

Enjoyed again, Matt Louisa, and bloodhound, Norman good to see Forest got his filled😊
Glad to hear it John! Thanks for watching
The head of the fish is the sweetest
Lots of meat in the pan, glad you removed those pesky bones. Warms the heart to see Norman had a great time too.
As an older person who has never fancied eating salmon, you’ve stirred my interest in trying it. Nice video.
omg. wait til you taste some smoked salmon ! it’s like candy. 👍
It's an acquired taste to be honest. But, once acquired, it is very good.
@@BeyondMillennium youre crazy lol its easily one of the best eatin' fish

@@alaskacabinadventures I've seen on other youtube channels what they do with the carcasses. I learn something new everyday😁
@@alaskacabinadventures I came across your channel today. And I'm enjoying it.. 😁
Pressure can the fish heads. Yummy
What a waste of food. Pressure can the fish heads, spine, belly. Salt the roe. Yummy
Great video Matt...looks like a lot of fun...amazing catch...that plate of food was making my mouth water...always looking forward to your videos...take care✌️
Glad to hear! Thanks a lot
That was pretty cool fishing never seen it done like that before thx for sharing ✌️
Pretty wild huh?
Living in Germany an watching this is awesome, but also kind of surreal..
Wow what a great video. So satisfying to see the catch . Great job

I’ve never seen fishing like this. Pretty cool!
Really cool video. Super jealous.
Really cool channel! Found it yesterday and already binged hours of it. Really relaxing and calm. The cooking video at the end was so cool will try this dish for me and my girl.
How come you and your wife don’t live together? Looks like a great time.
Thank you for sharing 👊
OMG Ikura/salmon roe is to die for. If you had properly prepared you would never throw away
I live on the Kenai peninsula and keep most of the salmon roe I get or give it to people who will use it. It not only tastes good but is full of healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. I also keep a number of the fish heads for soup.
@@downstreamup8897 roe also makes a great bait
Just like a white boy. You throw away the fish heads. You can make a fish broth with that and freeze it. Or a good fish head curry. If you kill it, eat the whole thing.
Yep, so much waste here...
Man I would love to be able to live this way in Alaska it be a dream
That is sooooooo awesome guys. My all time favorite fish is salmon. What a treat to be able to catch that many salmon all at once. Unfortunately, I live in North Carolina now and previously lived in Pennsylvania

Great job! Love your videos, keep up the fun times 🦀🐟🎂😬
2:12 Your Wife is a Cutie 👍never NEVER LET HER GO
STAY SAFE KIDS 🙏
I could eat Pacific salmon everyday. Great video!
Such an amazing thing, Matt & Louisa. Fresh salmon wow. Glad to see your friend Forest got his too. Enjoy
Hey thank you!!
Excellent video!!
Thats some good practical experience, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Mr Matt take care always,
food looks good my friend
Thank you to your wife for allowing us to see your beautiful adventures and landscapes! Have you tried a salon seasoning that has dill? it's amazing
Crazy for me as a British Columbian to see this, we have such small limits for salmon. Some years we arent even allowed any. Great catch!

real nice to see you all doing well on the coast. A lot better that when they let the commercial guys stay out there
Boy you got that down patt!
12 years gets you dialed in!
Great job hi fromCanada
Thanks!
Dipnetting is a blast when they are running! Kenai Reds are big un's. They eat real good too.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!
Awesome fishing and dinner looks great!
That dish really looked tasty, you are one lucky dude
Norman is the coolest.
Yummy! Still pretty green up yonder. Changing in Wisconsin.
This was back in July, I’m playing catch up from all the adventures this summer, fall has already come and gone here.
That’s some good fishing
Indeed!
That was awesome, can't beat fresh salmon
Thanks for the vid mate, that was cool
dude that filet looks so yummy. im going to write that one down
You can always make some really good soup with the fish heads
well done..
You did a good job getting your fish. I'm surprised that Native lady didn't take your fish heads. The Native people make and enjoy Fish head soup. I am a purist, I only like salt and pepper on most meat and fish. Thanks for sharing.
We do the same John (in Europe) , just salt, olive oil, garlic and parsley! 🐟
Thanks John! Yes I know lots of folks keep their heads and eggs, I have more than enough with just the filets.
Yummy!!!
Roasted salmon head is probably the best part of the fish, full of fat and nutrients.
Liked and subscribed 👍enjoyed your video Aloha and Mahalo 🌺🤙🌺
Hardworking folk!!
Увлекательно было посмотреть! приятного аппетита и да у нас в России тоже есть места где можно половить лосося😉😉
Glad you liked it, I’ve heard Russia has great trout fishing too.
Would have loved to see you process those bone for broth. Would have been good with some noodles!
Oh man! Throwing away gold with that roe!
One day I'll learn to cure it and then like it haha.
Do you add any oil or anything else to the cream cheese and pesto pasta? What amounts do you use?
Excellent job
All of Asia just died when you just tossed the roe in the sand. lol
Pacifico! Good man.
🤘
Good stuff

Awesome life buddy
nice catch but sorry I want variety too so offshore cod and halibut, crabs and shrimp. do you get squid definitely need that. that knife seems so wrong unlike the one used to fillet fish. that cook looks brilliant.
each one of those filets will go for $21.00 in Denver.

Thanks! We clean at low tide, when the next high tide comes in it washes the beach clean and returns the fish waste back got the ecosystem.
@@alaskacabinadventures Nice! I wondered if maybe the seagulls eat the heads or something.
I think you would make a great Clark Kent from Alaska C;
Oh lawwwwwd that made me so hungry & all I have is canned salmon 🙀😿😹😹✌️👍🇱🇷
Just found your channel. Awesome job. That’s a lot of work but to be stocked up is amazing. Do you have a smoke shack to smoke some of those fillets or do you freeze all of them.
Thanks! Yes, I use a big chief smoker and do lots of canning as well.
Where's your Mrs.. she should be enjoying that lovely dinner with you.. and pooch as well.. lol.😮
They don't live together its super weird to me too she lives in a whole other cabin some miles away
Not for long if you allow the copper mine to go ahead just like the Skeena run it’s all gone now Alaska has the last sockeye run in the world so please read up on this subject .
Leave some for the bears, they don’t have grocery stores.
Amazing! Just curious? Do you leave the fish heads just like that on the shore? Do they all then get eaten by the seagulls? Just thinking of the mess left behind after thousands of fish have been dispatched. Tx
The next hightide washing it out and becomes food for the river.
My Filipina wife would make me save the heads for soup.
Головы как и рыбу можно засолить и закоптить к 🥃👍🔥
I live in California and this year it’s illegal to fish for river salmon. This video is awesome I would love to catch them with a net
From Kurdistan
🤔with catching 24 salmon the first day… how often do you resharpen your knife… and who is your knife maker
Did you weigh out the finished filets?
I didn't but in years past it typically weighs around 140-170lbs these fish were BIG this year though.
Matt! Dude how many more APU’ers have channels I don’t know about? Is it just you an Timmy?
haha Hey Sean! I'm not aware of any others, but everybody has a channel these days so...hard to say.
No wonder that old dog is so skinny if ten salmon can last ya'll a year.🤣🤣👍
