White King salmon meat

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

Not like liver.  Like arguing apples and oranges.  Seems some are far more experienced than others when it comes to fish.  Those who aren't think tule yuk!  Those who are know there is a complet differnce between the two.  Fall run tule don't run in July.  Even if you don't know fish you should know that.  Just cause you've been tricked by family into eating rotten fish don't hate on good clean ivory chinook.  I've been eating sockeye recently and the ivory chinook was WAY better taste.  Real mild salmon flavor but real firm.  Boots definitely get thrown back but I've never seen a boot in July cause they just hit the bay no time to turn brown.

Man...I hope your just being funny ...There is no salmon that compares to a Sockeye ..None !!! But again we all have our opinion 

Have you ever tried a ivory chinook?  Doesn't sound like you have by the way you keep dogin on them as if there tules.  No I wasn't being funny.  I liked the ivory chinook WAY more than any sockeye I've ever had.  Don't come to a pre determined conclusion of your opinion on ivory chinook before you even try them.  Just the amount of folks who say they are the best on this forum should have you wondering.

A little info for the haters.

Your first 2 sources contradict each other.

Just a few copy and paste for folks who think a white meat chinook is a tule.  The second link is a seafood company and probably knows little about the reason the flesh is white.  But it's a genetic thing.

We catch them in Columbia once I. A while, but the white meat ones we catch in Alaska I prefer eating them over the pink meat ones

I have been siding with the lovers over the haters.  I fish Neah Bay a lot.  I am now wondering if there is some truth to the taste difference for some people.   Say, like a salmon who only eats herring vrs one who prefers to add krill to his diet.  This is different then a salmon strain that genetically can't change it's flesh color through diet.  Maybe it tastes a little different.    Like a blacktail vrs a mule.   Some people have sensitive palates.

They swim in schools, all eating the same prey - shrimp, herring, squid, whatever. It's a genetic variance.

But the fish quality is different depending on where they and the baitfish are schooling. You may have reds and whites in the same school eating the same baitfish and will taste virtually the same. A school of kings feeding on candlefish and herring in the north will taste differently from a school feeding on anchovies and sardines from the south. Even if both schools are from the same river system.

The white king last night was delicious. Several people in camp had never had it, and loved it.

I also attached a picture of a marble king we got today. They eat fine but just don't look as appetizing to me.
