Tasty Pinks!
« on: July 18, 2025, 11:55:22 AM »
Thought I would kick off the bi-annual debate about the quality of pink salmon by posting a pic of my breakfast this morning.

Better yet, this is 2023 pink, equilibrium salt cured with dill, light cold smoke and vac packed.  I have two packs left to eat up before the reload starts in a couple weeks.

Delish.

I have one more pack from 2023 that I was debating whether it'd still be good. Mine appears to be a little drier with more smoke than yours. You've given me the motivation to check it out!

Poke or ceviche for me! Texture is fine if you don't cook it.

Stun them, bleed “both” gills on a rope, into a very cold icy cooler, filet em on the salty sound, back into the cold cooler. Tastes great if handles properly.

Really?  Two year old dog fish??

Your preparation looks splendid!

If they are still bright, they smoke up very well.  :tup:

Yeah, 2 year old fish is generally no bueno, but apparently if you salt cure them it dramatically increases the freezer life.  Even best quality chinook or coho starts to noticeably fall off the cliff at 9 months.

I do agree with raw though, not only for pinks, but we rarely cook fish anymore.  For me, raw tastes so much better plus the math on fishing gear looks even better as sashimi is 10x the cost of a cooked filet at a restaurant, so we're actually making money fishing.   :chuckle:

I was hoping to see a picture of some dungees that pinks were used as bait for. Lol

Looks pretty tasty from where I sit!
