Alaska Salmon Fishing PINK + CHUM | Taste Testing Candied Salmon & Smoked Roe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2020
- Come along with us as we target Alaska's most abundant salmon, Pinks (AKA Humpy Salmon). We spend the day at two local creeks and head back to the cabin once we land a colorful spawning Chum. After processing and brining the fish, we start up the smoker to make spruce tip and honey glazed candied salmon and smoked roe. We taste and compare the Pinks and Chum and give our final verdict.

The first time ever that a cook tried their own food on film and admitted that they didn't like it. Usually they're like "OMG, it is the greatest thing in the world.....super delicious". A huge thanks for your honesty!
I have bought Chum salmon and tried cooking different ways with different sauces and it was the worst tasting fish I've ever eaten. Alaskan natives refer to them as dog fish as that's what they feed their sled dogs.
@@placitas52 As someone who has been catching them my whole life there is only one recipe that make chum good, it includes baking it. But really does transform the taste of the fish.
@@Josh-bf6ht every time i have tried chum salmon i realized i would rather drink 2 month old bong water than eat it again....

I Totally Agrees 👌🏾 👍🏾 🤣🤣
kitty is happy to just hang out and let Eric hold her. She needs more cameos! :)
The chicken that ran off with the eggs 😂
I know wasn’t that funny! Then another chicken went bookin after him😁
So happy i wasnt the only one that seen that lmao
That cracked me up too!
I didn't notice it, at what time?
I saw it too, she must be high up on the pecking order!
The smoked eggs you have you can put in food processor with olive oil, garlic, oregano and soft inside of bread, blend all together and you have yourself an awesome bread spread!
This year had its setbacks for you guys, but content-wise and food experiment wise you are killing the game!
Yes....very well said. I completely agree!!!
I admire how you guys are up on all the complicated fishing regulations and follow them to help maintain the fisheries - and I'm learning so much about smoking salmon - especially the what not to do. Thanks.
When i lived in washington state we would catch chum/dog salmon and most considered it trash fish. my wife made it into squaw candy. basically cut it up into rectangles or long strips if you prefer. marinate it in a mixture of soy and brown sugar and then toss it on a dehydrator and you got squaw candy. my daughters loved it and would go through 5 pounds of it a day as kids. there are many recipes and ways to make it, if you all are interested i would suggest giving it a try. it turns out great, and make a great snack/lunch when out hunting or fishing.
Thanks, a way to eat that fish. Chum had the worst taste for salmon I have ever had and I love fish.
To clean the eggs from the sack;
2 litres of water, 0.2 litre vinegar and eggsacks. Put water, vinegar and eggs in a large bowl,. Use a handmixer for 1-2 minutes and the sack will stick to the mixer.
Rinse and pour clean water on the eggs, use the hand mixer. Repeat until the eggs are clean. Put them in a colander...
Salt to taste. If you freeze the eggs don't salt before freezing.
Perfect as a cold sauce together with sourcream, a touch of lemon, dill leaves (finely chopped) and, if you like it, grated or very finely chopped (red) onion. Perfect to grilled salmon.
That sounds delicious.
Yeah, I was wondering why did you eat the eggs with the sack? You just need to google it to see how to clean the eggs ...
I'm down:)
🤔 eggs should not be smoked.
Love the Bigfoot sign.😆 The lake looks so soothing. ✨
Yes, me too. Nice reminder.Karen from Canada
I absolutely love you guys. Love seeing all your adventures but I really love watching your homesteading videos. You both nailed the Alaska way of life. Can’t wait to see the next big project for you guys. Sending lots of love to you both all the way from VA.
I applaud you fishing the right way - of course releasing hump snags is easy on camera but I suspect you do it off camera as well. This is the sort of food fishing I am totally in support of.
It cracked me up when the chicken took the clump of salmon eggs and ran 😂
Damn that Smoked Fish looked Incredible
When I commercial fished up there in the 70's we called Chum Salmon...Dog Salmon. I figured at the time it was because they had some gnarly teeth. Later I learned they were called "Dog" Salmon by the natives because they ran later in the season, and by then the natives had put up salmon for themselves and used the Chum run to put up food for the dogs. We also made good money on the Chums because they have abundant eggs. I went into one of the canneries we sold too, and the removed the skeins of eggs and packed them in multiple layers divided by layers of salt in small boxes and sent them to Japan where they brought big bucks.
Wow! Outstanding video. That chum was HUGE!
You guys are getting so close to 200,000 subscribers - so happy for you! Amazing videography, drone footage, adventures, creativity, skills...thank you for sharing with us!
Just over here laughing at her saying "I paid $20 for you. You're mine!" I say that to my dog all the time. He still loves the hubs more... haha
This is hilarious, the opening 'do it' segment is just so unexpected from you guys.

U people aren’t Alaskans u r from WA or OR. Alaskans don’t eat trash fish!!! But Awesome for eating what u catch...’
One other thing for u cheechakos is quit UTubing outsiders like u have lived here for a long time. U r to Fufu to b a Alaskan.

They may not be lifers in AK, but at least they are trying. They moved there a couple years ago, they also have 3 different properties there, and one that is way out the road. They are doing a lot better than the people who think it will be this lovey dovey mountain life.
@@creigbutler7539 Funny thing: nobody asked for your opinion.
I loved the underwater shots!
the cat says he will take those eggs. those are for him.
the last 30 seconds of content is amazing!
That cat is just too much!🤣🖤
The cat laying in Eric's arms like a baby was.just to dang.cute.lol i.laughed at her little spoiled self hahahhaha
If you don't like the fish, I'm pretty sure the cat is willing to help you out.

Love the laid back cat at the end - it's having a wonderful day! Good to see Eric with the shoo bear once again. Stay well folks.
there is not a more relaxed cat on the planet :) love it.
Sat on my bead at 4:15 am (UK) watching, and my cat could hear the chickens through my headphones 😂😂 she's currently guarding the end of my bed ready to pounce! 😂😂😻😻🙊 love these vids! Xx :)
The chicken running away with the eggs 🤣🤣 that made me laugh
"You're my cat, I paid $20 for you." LOL! My niece says that when her cat (who she left with my Mom when she went away to college) hangs out on Mom's lap rather than her lap. Cats do not care about who owns them, because they know they own everyone and everything in the house themselves. :)

@@zephheine9681 I'd rather have a pet lizard.
@@oldmanx1234 nothing wrong with that😊
