Smoked Dog Salmon

[Fisher]

Got some Dog Salmon off the boat Monday fillet them and put the dry brine on at 1:00 PM.  Placed them in the fridge over night.  Rinsed and placed the pieces of salmon on the racks, started the air dry with the help of the fan for two hours, and placed the racks in the smoker.















Let it cool for an hour then into the fridge till tomorrow and then vacuum pack.

Hi Q...One day we should meet at the Nanaimo Ferries so I can give you some Salmon. We should wait for the Sockeye run. I hope you get some Salmon in the freezer before the run.

Yeah me too.

As for dog salmon I prefer the dogs for smoking cause they are more evenly in their thickness.

Wow, that looks great. Bet it tastes even better.

Does dusted in seasoned flour and fried in lard in a big ole cast iron skillet over an open fire on the shore of a lake count?
Not cured and smoked - but mighty tasty anyways.

Hi Caney.....
That walleye looks great!  We don't have walleye here, but I the think the closest fish to the walleye would be a Rock Cod.  The Cod is real good too, in a pan or open fire. The pictures look great, the only thing I would change would be the Beer. lol  The Budweiser is all I drink.

Caught one or two of them rock Cod while halibut fishing - the one time I've gone halibut fishing.  Pulled up a big ling cod also - kinda scared me!   We do have walleye around here (Nashville), but not many people fish for them.  Many fish for a cousin - sauger.  I've caught one walleye here in TN.  I was wading in the Caney Fork throwing some soft hackles at some fun brookies when something bumped my upstream leg.  It was a walleye floating but still alive.  Being conservation minded as I am, and not liking to see things go to waste, I reached down and grabbed that sucker.  Don't keep any trout, so didn't have a stringer, a creel, or anything.  so threw it up on the bank.  Then I remembered that we had a lot of minks around, so went back to retrieve it.  Took my belt off and secured it to the belt with the buckle.  I got the fish home, but almost lost my shorts a few times!   Those pics above were from a trip to middle SK.  About 600 to 700 km above Mr. Walleye, near Stanley Mission. 

The beer - the only ones around.  And although I don't drink anymore I had one and it wasn't half bad - somebody left the water back at camp.   ;D

It counts when it looks like that, Caney! (and keep the Kokanee coming....one of my favorites!)  I'm gonna go dry the drool off my keyboard now.......
