OT Going Fishing

The salmon are running in Copper River now. They may even let us take an
extra 10 fish, bring us up to 40 fish we can dip-net for our winter salmon
supply. It's really more a matter of "harvesting" than going fishing.
We'll clean them there, leaving the guts in the stream. (The decaying
bodies of the adults is the primary food for the fish when they hatch, since
the purity of the water means there's nothing much to eat in it). And then
of course we'll have to fillet them and vacuum seal them.

When we get finished with that it will be time to pick blue berries. Dumped
another two cords of wood in the yard this morning.

Summer!!

Send a couple of salmon over here Tina. Wild salmon costs an arm and a
leg and we do not care for the farmed salmon.

mmmmmmmmmmm....I love salmon! We have a big rasberry hedge, and we pick the
berries every year. Recently we had salmon drizzled with with rasberry
vinegrette (raspberries smashed with a spoonful of olive oil and a spoonful
of applecider vinegar and a dash of salt. ). Very good, and a change from
the lemon and butter way that we like it usually! If there's any little bit
of fish left over, I chill it and smash it up into cream cheese for eating
with crackers.
Happy fishing!

Ah, but salmon is so good for you. Especially the wild stuff. Such clean
food.

Well, the fishing trip didn't happen. Just too much going on. Trying to
squeeze 3 months of summer work into 2 months. What with going down in
August for the wedding.

Here, the farmed salmon is labeled as "Atlantic salmon". Did you know they
have to add food coloring to give it the classic pink salmon color? I do
like my wild meat. I especially like that there are no added hormones, etc.
Wish I could send you a couple. Or better yet, bring them.

As I told Shirley, we didn't get down for the salmon yet.

That raspberry vinaigrette sounds good. Lingon berries, the red berry in
the blueberry family (not the cranberry family) also makes a tasty condiment
for meat.

I do have enough smoked salmon left from last year to smash up with cream
cheese for guests who come for the wedding and for Susie. I like them with
those Canadian cracked wheat crackers. Stoned Wheat Thins.

I'm freezing lots of sliced rhubarb too. Pete loves it as a topping for ice
cream. We've had lots of rain, and had some flooding. Hope I can still get
blueberries. Probably next week, ...if it's dry.

There was about 300 pounds of cat fish caught this last few days. Largest
was 31 pounds. If under 10 pounds, back it went, the 31 pounder was
released... All the others are in the deep freeze.

mmmmmmmmmmm...we soak catfish fillets in buttermilk, then dredge through the
toasted breadcrumbs we whirl up in the food processor just for this. Then
pan fry in the big cast iron skillet with olive oil.
Sounds like you had a good haul, LB! You'll have fish this winter.
