In Sweden we have a delicatessen called ”löjrom” - its roe from a fish ( Coregonus albula) in the salmon family and the only processing is rinse the sack away in cold water and then add 4% salt dry it and freeze it ! Best eaten on toast with Crème Fraiche ( sourcreme) and chopped mild onion and a wedge of lemon…….maybe you could try the same with salmon roe ??
That sounds really good! Is that a salmon, trout or char? Different types of salmonids really interest me. Can it be caught on the fly!?
@@mak9956 heard about char first when I went to Iceland and I got to eat some artic char from the lake that was right outside the restaurant! One my favorite fish to eat wish I could find it fresh here in Pennsylvania
Sounds very good I will definitely have to try this thank you
@@mak9956 they are tiny but why not give it a try, Google the scientific name and get your info in English 👏🏽
It's delicious, you have very similar species in alaska. Alaskan whitefish. Give it a try! :)
Coming from a culture that’s been through a lot, I’ve learned a lot of things people call “trash” food isn’t trash. It’s how you cook it, and what you eat it with that can bring it to life.
The chum are called dog salmon because many folks who keep working sled dogs harvested these salmon for feed for their animals. My late mother and many elders of her age preferred the chum salmon for its fat tender flesh, for the taste and looked forward to harvesting chum and the roe to stock their winter caches. I don’t mind chum either especially now that the chinook returning inland to their spawning beds are at endangered numbers. They are a legitimate food source for humans regardless of the “dog salmon”throw away reference.
except chum are low in fat which is in part, why they are not quite the table fare that the others are. like pinks, they occupy the niche of short rivers. they spawn typically in the first km or 2 of a river, but in larger gravel befitting their large size relative to pinks. so they don't require the same fat reserves that sockeye, coho or chinook do in order to reach the farthest reaches of their natal streams, which may be hundreds of miles. every living thing craves fatty fish, people and animals alike.
Dog salmon because you walk the salmon with the leash like a dog.
Also known as dog salmon bc they start to develop large sharp k9 type teeth the longer in fresh water while in spawn mode. Great vid Taku
Appreciate the info here. I went to Vancouver Island, BC a few times on vacation from Hawaii. My dad had moved up there a few years before. I’ve been fishing forever in Hawaii so my dad charted a float plane that flew us out into the middle of the mountains and we were dropped off on a lake for four days alone in the wilderness. Our last great adventure together in the middle of nowhere. The small shack on the lake had a canoe we could use and I’d brought my fishing gear from Hawaii. Trout were jumping everywhere and we caught a bunch of them. The pilot of the bush plane pointed out a river that ran past our lake and said it was full of salmon running upstream. I explained I only had a non-resident alien license that only allowed me to catch rainbow and cut throat trout.
He laughed, “You’re the only people for 30 miles in every direction. The only way up here is by float plane. No game wardens. I’d go for a salmon if I were you. Good luck, see you guys in four days.”
So while my dad fly fished for trout from the shore, I paddled the canoe toward the river. Huge salmon were jumping everywhere! I only had 8 pound test line on my reel and the salmon just broke me off like nothing. I set my drag ridiculously loose and finally was able to tire one out and net it into the canoe. My first salmon ever. Strange colors though and from watching Taku’s video here, I know now that it was a chum salmon. Since all we’d brought for food was a couple steaks and some canned goods, fish was going to be it for the next few days. I smoked the salmon over the fire and since we were hungry, it was great to have. It definitely wasn’t the best salmon I’ve ever ate though, and now I know why. It was a damn chum salmon. Oh well, the trout were really good and that was still one of the best adventures with my dad before he died.
I really enjoyed those old coastal foraging vids. You should do some around Alaska. I'd be very interested to see what you'll find in those tide pools.
I was just thinking that myself! That would be awesome.
You know, I thought of that as well. Taku is known for his foraging videos and adapting what he finds into the cooking process. Once he changed the format of his videos, I kinda drifted away from watching. So, this video is cool!
@@carlkoh Yeah, watching someone cast a fishing pole isn't that interesting. But foraging is something most city people haven't done. It's like an educational easter egg/treasure hunt.
@@carlkoh sorry I didn't reply here. Yeah, I totally see what you are saying. I definitely especially enjoy when Taku adds some foraging into the vids! I always try to stay watching every Tuesday though regardless. But totally understand the drift. I mean, we all only have so much time to watch content and often get busy with important stuff.
OUTDOOR CHEF LIFE BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH A BANGER!
SALMON ROE BANGER !!!
Such a cool episode. The chum salmon roe was huge! Thanks for showing us how to prepare it. Can’t wait for the kelp crisp to come out. I am jumping on that as soon as it drops! The blueberries with the salmon roe looked awesome. Such a cool combo. Amazing vid as always!!
The stream you were fishing by has a major chum return because the local hatchery releases chum fry there every year. Many people in Japan feel it is some of the best roe due to how fresh it is before it is processed. In the past there has been a major floating fish processor anchored within view of where you were fishing. That location is well known in Japan. If you are able to catch a chum out away from the stream it will be much brighter. In fact they are often targeted by the charter boats taking people off the cruise ships. I am not one of those that bad mouth chum salmon when bright but when they color up it truly changes the flavor. Pinks are pretty good if you cook them shortly after catching. I would be glad to take your challenge as they all do have distinct flavor and texture. If given the chance try white king (just that way because of what they ate is the guess).
Is he in Japan or Alaska? I thought he was in Alaska?

Taku-san thank you for another great video. You had mentioned view counts being down lately and not saying this is the reason but the format of this video is more reminiscent of your earlier catch to cook and I for one like this layout the best… there’s just something that is appealingly simple about it that allows me to just ride along mindlessly and get lost in the adventure that I don’t necessarily find w some of your other formats. Just my two cents and a huge fan so. 頑張って！
Hey Mark, thank you for saying what I wanted to say!😅
The blueberry ikura combo looks insane. That roe is the same size as the blueberries.
I was thinking it would be nerve wracking to eat if you were blind, not knowing if each orb would taste of fish egg or berry.
I freaking love y’all , you both have a beautiful relationship and life style, with so much achievement for the way life should be spent, learning and seeing beautiful sites at every corner. One hell of an angler my guy, and I imagine that’s some of the BEST “salmon trout “ ever! I’ll get out there one day, but don’t know if I’ll ever leave ! Happy trails
I live on Cormorant Island, just off the otherness end of Vancouver Island. So thrilled to see the return of Salmon this year.Sockeye of course is my absolute favorite, but love them all...Dogs and Pinks are excellent for smoking...Love your adventures. You should check out our Island one day...Visit the Bighouse and the Umista cultural Museum. You guys won't be sorry !!
Your process of harvesting/cleaning/preserving the roe is impressive to watch.
Great video, Taku! I was honestly surprised with the blueberry idea. Wasn't expecting that at all! I'm sure it came out great! Cheers!
If ya go back home via i-5 stop at sims creek and hike up the tracks a couple hundred yards i lost a 25+ off a woolie bugger gold bead love the content keep it up
Love the episode once again Chef! Keep up the awesome work.
What an amazing dish! That roe is the biggest i've ever seen! I feel like what you made could be served in a high end restaurant!
Just always such great content. Keep 'em coming!
Keep growing and keep sharing your experience as always
Lav ya Taku and Joslyn
I miss your Sushi episodes bro, one of my favorite was the Mackerel Nigiri one!
CRAZY! Been going back through all the old episodes again here lately and think we need to see another vid with More Than Fishing, that guy was so funny.
Hi Sir Taku, enjoyed so much watching your trip to Alaska...
Hoping to see more, take care you two and GODBLESS
Always happy to see a notification from you, amazing videos!
🌴 sitt’n in the recliner watching ya hook those salmon and yell’n set the hook harder ! That fish was look’n mighty tasty, have you made fish jerky yet , great to have on the trail or as a snack , always ready for your next adventure 👍🏼
When it's smoked right the texture is kind of like pork. I like to heavily season after brine (only non-idolized salt). Usually do a batch of lemon pepper. And a batch of Cajun. It comes out good enough to vacuum pac and give as gifts. Most I give it to love it. I've tried baking and roasting it, never again.
Working the late shift at work and this video made my night thanks for the wonderful upload Taku!
This channel is awesome and deserves way more views! Everyone, please share with your family and friends.
I was told they are called chum salmon because they are not great for eating and are used mainly as chum bait. I can only guess why they would be called dog salmon, maybe cause they make good dog food either in commercially prepared or locals who steam them so the bones become soft and feed them to their dogs.
Toward the end of spawn the males grow really long teeth aswell as the normal beak growth. There is a saying uglier than a dog salmon for a reason. Give it a Google image search.
They make some killer fertilizer
Yep, Dog Salmon because they're used for sled dog food
Bingo
Buddy they are good when you catch ‘em fresh or when u smoke them I love chum top 3 of all salmon species
Another great content!! Thank you chef!!
Nice fishes brother! Thanks for the share!!
Awesome video Taku... Chum Salmon like Skipjack Tuna are both delicious
Jocelyn's giggle on "bigger is better" needs to be clipped and saved as a short. Classic. Another great video. Love your channel. Bought a Misen carbon steel wok only because you featured their product.
Great video! I love the way your prepared the fish with berries and eggs. Wish I could taste it.
Waving hi from Mission n Geneva! love ya guys! Great video as always!!!
that looks awesome, thank you for sharing your adventures and the great catch and cook.
Your Alaskan videos are so THE very best! I love the views and that meal looked freakin delicious!
Remembering that other video that you was talking about the ups en downs, THANKYOU for this video man love it !
That looked absolutely delicious 😋 awesome stuff once again! Thank you 🙏🏻
Literally everything you make makes me drool lol. It all looks fantastic.
Really cool video my brother. It's that's a trash fish, I think you changed some minds. I'd definitely try that salmon and it's eggs. The wild blueberries just added so much depth in color. I can't wait to see you do the blindfold tasting with native people. Keep up your awesome work.
little tip for campfire cooking, set your table upwind from the flame and include a tall object next to the flame. Smoke is drawn up the tall object like a head stone
or vertical logs. Anything will do it as long as it's taller than the fire pit. Changed my life that tip.
Amazing vid which made me think that an Outdoor Chef Life and Simple Living Alaska would be fire 🔥🔥
Keep it going bro. You guys are killing it. Less of the body cam fishing misses and more of the drone though.
Pinks and chums are so underrated when is come to salmon. When caught at the right time in their life cycle both taste really good.
I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Keep up the good work!
You two are an inspiration! Love watching your videos.
on the way to Ak right now for salmon season so excited
Yeaaah buddy, just finished work and now it's time for Taku Tuesday. Best day of the week!
I love the setup. I use a 10’6 Okuma guide select pro med L for my float setup and it is amazing
Just discovered your channel and love what you do. I suggest that if you are eating a species for the first time to try some with minimum seasoning along side your wonderful recipes. You might taste a flavor that inspires you to create a different recipe for that protein.
Nice man and good video. I love the fishing your getting into. Keep up the good work.
Dude your so informative. Really love how you do what you do when you're doin it. 🙃
Wo.....w you just blew my mind , by your outside the box way of cooking. It's so awesome 👌 the way yall took a fish that's considered dog food., and made it way beyond a five star restaurant menu. However, be blessed 🙌 and safe out there. By the way keep the videos coming Chef 👩🍳
Awesome catch there . Looks yumm
Oh God, the unveiling was hot enough, but the final presentation was something else again. Beautifully done.
Great video as always. Your food that you prepare is amazing Ill have to try some. We brought back some reds from Soldotna this year. Take care and stay safe .
Before they are near or enter their short spawning streams; they are a very shiny chrome fish! The chum salmon are also called "dog salmon" because the males develop huge canine like teeth.
Forgot another name for chum or dog salmon: Keta (species nomenclature) salmon commonly used in marketing as it's more attractive. Their flesh is much paler than King, Silver, or Sockeye salmon and more similar in color to pink or humpy salmon.
Great vid As usual keep them coming!!
Nothing better than a double upload week! Love what you do keep pushing
Honestly i wait every week for your videos to be uploaded, keep up the good work!
Been loving the recent videos
great video, always been curious about chum since I don't think you can catch them down here in Oregon. I love those flying c's, but I have way better luck when I swap out the treble hook for a siwash
Pro tip- find your way up to Kotzebue, AK. The chum up there have a high fat count and are sold into the sushi market. The reason why they are called dogfish is because the natives harvest them to feed their dogs
Love the video Taku. I'll be shipping out to USMC basic soon. Hopefully I can come back to some awesome videos 👌👌
This is definitely one of my most favorite dishes you’ve created, hell yeah 🤙
I love watching you fish and cook. I wish I could be there and eat it all up.
Taku, I came over from watching you on Leif's channel. The salmon looks delicious! By far, my favorite fish. 💖🌹🐟
Love the whole video. The catch, prep, and recipes were Fab.
Oddly, people in big Pheasant areas often claim that Grouse aren't good. I love em....and when I heard the rimfire I couldn't help but get excited.
🙉🙈🙊 I do not know how blasphemous it was, but last Friday I saw a man place a King Salmon fillet, skin down in a cold frying pan. He said, North Atlantic Kings are better than Alaskan and he said that the North Atlantic King has much more fat. Apparently, starting the fish in a cold frying pan then slowly increasing the heat until the skin is crisp. But he said it doesn't work well with the less fat Alaskan King Salmon.
Go figure - eh!
Livin the dream! I like your berry cured salmon you did. That was bangin. Keep up the awesome work, you two!
Thanks for sharing buddy! Awesome as always.
Good video. I look forward to your blind folded test of different salmon.
In the Interior AK they, the chum, are called dog salmon. I'm not sure if the reason is the wicked jaws, or because the natives use it for dog food for the huskies. The chum are usually fermented in the water before freezing/ drying for the dogs.
Love the videos. Keep doing what you are doing. So where will you be going for winter?
You Always appreciate what the wild gives you. Well done bro!
Another classic Taku, lovin' your life!
Another awesome Taku Tuesday!!! Hell yeah!
interesting about the skunk cabbage, i'm pretty sure on the east coast the leaves kinda die out by the end of spring but maybe you just stop noticing it bc everything else is green by then. Didnt know you could eat it
I really enjoy your content! I believe the reason they are called Dog Salmon is because the chums are what they use to feed their dogs in alaska. I will dry them and use them as dog food throughout the year.
I don’t think I ever had blueberries on fish before looks amazing! Drooling over here
THANKS for letting us all be flies on the wall of your beautiful lives!
Super-grateful for all the vicarious thrills.

Jocelyn going in with the extra chili crisp at the end there I love it 🤣
10/10 video. Fantastic stuff
This was awesome, once again. Cheers, Taku and Jocelyn! #TakuTuesday ✌️🎣
We love your channel, learned a lot; keep up the good work.👍
How more rustic can you get amazing good job it always gets our focus back on track
That looks crazy good. I immediately thought Boba, when I saw the roe. Thank you Chef
What my family does with chum eggs is boil them and mix them with some white rice, herbs, and butter. So good
Beautiful catch.
He was stoned AF in this video and I love it!!!
Gosh Taku. You make it all look so easy. Oishisou!
That looks like a WILD combination of flavors and I want it all
Requesting video on how to store salmon roe for long freezing and longer storage in the fridge (with marinade/ without) very confusing and need more detail. My dad started fishing in bc and he's very good at it. I'm trying to preserve the roe for future eats. TIA! Love the videos :))
Can’t wait for that salmon tasting video
Hey! chums, aka dogs are great fighters! Love catching them! And yes if they’re bright enough they eat ok and smoke up great! I’m not picky! Next time try green instead of pink and you’ll do even better!
I keep checking barnacle's website for when the chili crisp drops! I'm so excited for you, Taku :)
They got the name dog salmon since they use this for their dog sled teams. They are spoiled its really nice to have king salmon all year i wouldeat only that too. We must realise what a national treasure Alaska is and protect it at all cost. Love what you did with it i was so hungry after i watched this. I could eat that roe all day like candy! Thankyou for another great video!!!
To me, Chum and Pink salmon tastes and feels like a chrome steelhead.
Can't say it's superior/inferior to King/Coho salmon. Just a mix of personal tastes and social bias.
They're all beautiful fish non the less.
BANGER video as always!
Awesome video! When are the hoodies gonna be back in stock on the merch store?
I CANNOT WAIT TO TRY THE KELP CHILI CRISP 🤣 For a fishing channel you really do know how to bait. Lol. I’m not a dad but I got the jokes.
Yummy. I am sort of unique in that I like leaner salmon to cook or bbq and fattier for sushi. I also love trout so this looks really yummy
