you should gill those heads and make fish head soup. the spine with extra meat and the fins also make a great fish bone broth for chowder or etouffee .you are missing a lot of flavor throwing away those spines.
This is why most of us Alaskans NEVER let guides fillet our salmon. By using the swipe along the backbone method he’s missing A LOT of meat along the backbone. A guide fillets for speed, not for maximum utilization of the resource.
@@G2GO_outdoors Salmon are easy to fillet. And you’ll be shocked at how thick the fillets are when done properly. I don’t like eating salmon (only catching it) but my wife says king is so rich and fatty she saves it as a treat a few times per month. Her every day salmon are reds. Quantity is also a factor. We can only get 5 kings per year but we can get limitless reds. So we harvest enough to feed her and the dogs for a year. All for free!
That was fast. God bless you and your family......🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
First 🥇 Booyah
I like this cut… leaves belly intact.. I got bunch to cut up tomorrow.. hopefully grill some up while I’m cutting
That is some good eating
Nice clean!!!
Are there no pin bones or are they soft enough to not matter?
There are a few pin bones but honestly they do t seem to matter too much. When I’m prepping for cooking I may just pull a few out then

I agree, but we is very limited space to carry back on the air plane! It cost us a fortune how it was!

I understand, I myself have never cleaned a salmon so I wouldn’t know…with that said, what do Alaskans really prefer, King or red?

Can’t beat that…i thoroughly enjoyed both but if I had to choose, it would be the king. I hope to make it back up that way one day!
