How many fish do you eat?

[lokidog]

I eat a lot of fish. This week, I had fish Tuesday, Wednesday, and last night for dinner. I had some smoked salmon today for a snack, and will eat more fish tomorrow, probably for lunch.

I do tend to be a fish/meat hoarder, I'll admit.  However, vacuum packed it will last years.  I'm still eating salmon from 2017, luckily, since the 2018/19 season has sucked. I finally tagged my first salmon this week, though I did get a nice Steelhead last June.

I grew up eating fish fairly often however not of the salmonid variety. Now that I salmon and steelhead fish and gotten better over the last few years we actually have what I consider "surplus" for my family of 4 that eats fish maybe 2-3 times a month. I've weighed everything out and between the one 20lb springer, 10 summer steelhead and 1 fall chinook we managed just a little over 90lbs of salmon and steelhead for the 2018 season. We are about halfway through it since I stop fishing in september after hunting season starts. And winter steelhead has been a waste of time. With a dismal looking Springer forecast in the columbia, it's looking like we will burn through our fish by the summer season.

I really wish we ate it once a week at least, just to cut out the extra groceries we buy. But the kids are hard to convince that its premium eats compared to things like mac n cheese

I should be eating more than I do.  Filled a punch card and a half last two years kings/cohos, but friends and family share in the haul.  Always have some on hand, but hate to run out.

All the salmon and steelhead I can.  Springers (10 or so a year if I’m lucky) and summer steelhead (a couple a year) get eaten fresh or vacuum packed.  Falls (half a dozen maybe) and winters (another half dozen)we’ll eat a piece fresh and I’ll smoke the rest.  Sturgeon if we’re lucky enough to get an opportunity.  A few Kokanee a year.  I need to do that more.  I would like to maybe do some crappie and explore the walleye fishery more.

We eat salmon atleast once a week or more. If I have sturgeon we eat that atleast every other week. We go thru about 100 lbs of salmon a year and 50 lbs of sturgeon a year and a few walleye and burbot meals.

We eat more fish than I can keep up with to catch. Never thought I would hit a point where I would ever actually buy fish. But I just cant get out quite as much anymore. Every fish I bring home anymore is typically eaten that day or within 48 hours. Bass has become my wife & my favorites. We used to have salmon or steelhead weekly when I was able to keep a good supply on hand, haha. We will eat it all for the most part and enjoy it very much. This part though will probably get me wrung up by my toes on here, but I swear I have yet to have salmon or steelhead that I can tell the difference between. Now if they are dark fish, I can tell that, but one bright fish to a bright fish of another species... pink meat tastes like pink meat. I cannot count the amount of times buddies have cooked 2 types in the same way, right next to eachother, just to try to show me the difference, but I still cant tell. I have had winter steelhead next to springer, next to fall coho next to summer steelhead....  Guess that just means I am easy to please maybe, haha.

for some reason, i find that frozen salmon/trout/steelhead have an off taste unless they get smoked, so i usually give away anything that i can't eat fresh.

i love springers,summer steelhead and coho...fall kings are for the smoker unless they're jacks or exceptionally fatty.  don't keep winter runs much any more(i'd have to catch something to bring it home, and most of the areas i can get away from the hordes of people only have wild fish now anyway...)

i could eat white meat fish like perch, walleye, lings etc all the time.  i seem to be in the minority around here though.

I can tell a major difference in spring chinook versus fall chinook not even a comparison.

Yeah, springers are a different thing for sure.

We usually eat fish weekly.  Love salmon.  One of my favorite outside of tuna.

[Mr Mykiss]

I eat enough 10# walleye that I should die of mercury poisoning sooner than later...

[kball4]

I keep and eat most anything that comes out of salt water and I used to keep alot of trout too but I've lost the taste for trout.  Stocker trout does make good halibut bait though.
