Mea Culpa: I would have done this much earlier, but my commercial cold storage situation has been in flux and I'm still searching out alternative options.
The main thrust of this buy are the coho are frozen and vac pac fillets from my late August coho trips, and the spot prawns are Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) and glazed tails from my October spot prawn season.
Check out this link to see the fish from August. They were big, beautiful coho.
https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,229735.120.html (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,229735.120.html)
The frozen and vacpac filets range in weight from 1.0# to a bit over 4.0#. They are packed in 50# boxes of random sized filets, but I will sell smaller amounts. If you missed out on the first fresh buys, or didn't want to commit to the big job of cutting and packing your fish, this is a good way to get in on the tail end of that deal. Very easy to deal with.
*Coho filets, vacpac and flash frozen -
$11/#, for quantities of 1-49#
$10/#, for quantities of 50# and up. SOLD OUT
Here's a bit about the spot prawns-
https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,207837.390.html (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,207837.390.html)
The spot prawn tails will be packed in 2.5# fancy cardboard boxes, 4.0# in a fancy 1 Gallon ziplock :chuckle:, or for the well-heeled shrimp enthusiast, 48-ish# cases.
*Spot prawn tails, IQF and glazed -
$45 for 4# ziplock bag, price on request for case.SOLD OUT
I also have some smoked Copper River sockeye in 1# gift boxes (our own SitkaBlacktail might have even caught some of these!). These are filets that have been smoked and sealed in a foil pouch, making them shelf stable for a long time. I produce these to sell to local businesses that have a national customer base, and move a fair number of them every year. Gerrard and Dominique (SeaBear) in Anacortes did these for me. It is the same fish you see at all the gift shops, mall kiosks and fish counters for around $35-$40 a box. No refrigeration needed. I'm switching over to my own coho for next year's run with a ground-up redesign of the packaging, so I need to clear out the small amount of boxes I have left. Have a nice appetizer for your Memorial weekend meal, and/or get your Christmas shopping done early!
*Smoked Copper River Sockeye 1# gift box-
$25 each (tax included, while supplies last)
Finally, I also have a very small selection of Washington Troll kings and Halibut I had fileted, vacpac and frozen by a shore-based processor for me last week. I have two king filets left, and a handful of 1-ish# skin-on portions. I also have a few 1-ish# portions of skin-off halibut as well. These will be a first-come first served, priced as marked deal. One of the kings was a marble, which has a different look for those that haven't seen one before - but it is a great eating spring ocean fish just like the others. I caught these guys last week out on the Prairie, about 30-35 miles off the coast out of Neah Bay.
I'm looking to be in the Everett/Marysville area Wednesday evening and the South sound/Tacoma area Thursday evening. I'm open to suggestions on central places and times to meet that is most convenient for the buyers.
If the interest is there and time permitting, I would be willing to make an E WA run as well. That would likely be Friday evening and Saturday morning, depending on demand. For me to take the time to do that, however, I would need to make sure I was moving a fair amount of product. Otherwise, I'd have to tack on a serious "Delivery Surcharge" that might be more than the fish itself :chuckle:. If there was anybody who we could tap to be an Eastern Wa link and meet up with some dry-side buyers, I could help a little with the price on their own order.
Payment can be cash or check. I can take PayPal as a gift up to $500. My pricing on these discounted products doesn't support taking credit cards at this time, but if somebody really needed to use a Visa or MC, we can probably work it out after discussing the fees.
Thanks for checking this Group Buy out, let me know if you have any questions. I know it's short notice, but I wanted to get some fish to you all before Memorial Weekend and as fishing goes - it's the window I have to work with right now.
Thanks again for the interest and the continued support, it means a lot to us small business owners.

Post by: Skillet on May 21, 2019, 11:50:28 AM
I'll get a list going this afternoon on the first post like we did in the previous threads.
Ill be in seattle on june 12th, but i suppose youll be out fishing at that time, yeah?
@Bango skank
Hard to say at this time, but likely. Since it's frozen, could we leave your order with somebody?
If you figure out a tricities drop, I'll take 12#s of prawns and 25 #s of coho fillets.
I'll be bear hunting Thur to Monday so I won't be available to arrange a meet up.
If you figure something out with enough interest by others in the tricities please include me, if not, I completely understand and will get in on the next buy.
@92xj
I'll definitely keep you on the list. If I get over to TriCities, maybe I can leave them with @syoungs with it until you get back? We'll work something out. Good luck on your bear :tup:
If there is a Spokane connection, I'd be interested in Coho and shrimp. I could help distribute in Spokane but would need to get them here from the coast.
@daddysprad
Sounds good. I might have the Spokane distribution piece in place, but if not I'll take you up on your great offer. The more we can move in Eastern Wa the easier it is.
I'd like the Washington Troll caught fillets and 4 pounds of shrimp please. I could meet you in Marysville. Just let me know the time and place. Thanks@shannon
You got it. I'll have the meeting place set up soon, most likely North Everett/South Marysville.
Chris, I will take (2) 4# bags of spot prawns if available :tup:@elkaholic123
They're available! Got you down for 8#. :tup:
Any idea what time frame you will be avail for pickup in the Marysville area? Id be in for 25# of Coho and 4# Prawns if it works out.
Thanks
@buckmark
Let's make it work out. I'm thinking of posting up in Marysville/North Everett sometime after traffic dies down on Wed Eve. Do you have a suggestion for a place? Somewhere that has a nice parking lot and a barley pop on tap would get my vote...
Anybody willing to make a Spokane run??? Pretty please :chuckle: :chuckle:
Top notch fish from a top notch guy. Y’all wont be disappointed :tup:
@Dhoey07
I was hoping I'd get to sell you some more fish :chuckle:. The Spokane thing is looking possible, just need to get people to raise their hand. What would you be in for if I could make it over?

It looks to me like the Dry Side is making serious effort to buy some fish, so I'm taking my show on the road (and the long-suffering family in Spokane will be happy to see I've made the effort to get over - to sell fish :chuckle:).
I'll be in EBurg on Friday early afternoon, Spokane Valley on Friday evening, North Spokane on Saturday morning, TriCities on Saturday afternoon, and Yakima on Saturday Evening.
We're going to do the tomorrow night pickup in Marysville, I'll list the time and location on post #1. I will bring extra product, so if you have friends/family that wants to check it out before they buy, bring them along.
I'm going to have to build a special fish hauler for this in the future.

Skillet -- what is the general time frame for whole coho again? I like filleting my own so I still feel a little bit manly about the whole thing :chuckle:Ha, I understand that. The fresh coho program, if it happens again, won't fire up until late July/early August at the earliest. That seems like a lifetime away to me right now...

Any halibut left and how much per pound?
Got a couple of chunks of Washington halibut left, doing those for $16\# to clean me out. You want me to bring them to the Marysville meet-up? I'm thinking the Buzz Inn at 72nd and State should work out perfectly.

Skillet, where in the south end are you thinking for Thursday evening? We are still enjoying the heck out of the Coho from last summer!!! But would be very interested in some prawns this tour if we can make the meet up work! Thanks again!!!!
My south sound delivery is really non-existent at this point, so I'm pretty open. Might be as far south as Olympia to deliver a case of prawns at noonish on Thursday, but that's not a done deal yet.
What area would work best for you, along the I-5 Corridor? I'm trying to get back north before traffic gets too bad, have an opportunity for a bit of family time I'd like to enjoy before I rush off to Spokane the next day. :tup:

The easiest place for a drop off for me would be the Flying J truck stop at the Geiger Exit right before you head down into Spokane. That's about a mile from my house. I really wanted to meet you, but I could have someone out there with the cash to do the pick up whenever it would be convenient for you on Friday. Easy access on and off the freeway there.

Oh, you're not missing much by not meeting me. I'm much more impressive online than in person :chuckle: You're more than welcome to chase us out there to the Hwy 27 Albertsons when you can make it, it's starting to sound like we're going to have a tailgate party out there. BYO hunting
I'd be happy to drop the fish off at the Flying J though. I know exactly where that's at. Would I be handing off Britt-Dog's fish there as well?

Wondering if anybody up that way had some temporary freezer storage until he gets back mid-week? I'll be in North Spokane to drop off fish on Saturday morning.

I'll take a $45 for 4# ziplock bag, if possible. I'm in Mill Creek, near Everette.
Thanks,

Any chance you can swing a bit north and pick it up in Marysville this evening between 5 and 7?

Hi Carl,

I have to go to Monroe at that time to pick up my Camping trailer that I'm renting out for the weekend. Sometime Saturday??

If you are half the man I think you are, you will have stashed at least 12 pounds of prawns for me.
Post by: Britt-dog on May 22, 2019, 08:15:51 PM
Britt-dog will have to chime in on that one......don't know his location exactly. What time are you delivering at the Albertsons? Might be a good time to meet some more fellas from Huntwa.
Roger that, I'll touch base with him.
Looking to be around 6pm, but I'm pretty flexible as the place I'm staying is fairly close.
I am S/W of Cheney and can be at the Tyler exit in around 10 mins if you want to give me a call when your 15-20 out. If that dosnt work, I can meet anywhere including the valley or N. Spokane, just let me know. I will PM you my cell

Great talking to you Chris, the fish and prawns look awesome. Thanks again.
You too, hope you enjoy them. :tup:
My wife made some prawns browned in butter/garlic and over pasta with cherry tomatoes. Very good! The prawns tasted like I just caught them. Thanks again Skillet.
Glad to hear, it was good to meet you. Thanks for the support!

I wanted a case of prawns but got left at the alter! Kidding aside, see you in a week or 3 and glad it’s going well!
You bet man, thanks. The 4# bags of prawns are moving so well I may need to buy back some of that case from you. :chuckle:
Post by: Skillet on May 24, 2019, 10:07:05 PM
If you do some whole fish again like last year. I will for sure be down for some.
There is a chance I'll do the whole fish again, but it would probably be a single shot in early-mid August if I can get it done. The wholesale market is definitely leaning towards FAS fish for this coming year, so I need to focus on keeping my on-board freezer busy. Keep an eye out, as it will be the same as last year - a short-notice offer that depends on wx and whether or not the fish are cooperating.
Post by: Skillet on May 24, 2019, 10:15:53 PM
We just had a fillet and prawns 😛 DELICIOUS!!! Thanks Chris.
Great Jerry, glad to hear that!
Thanks Chris. I should have come and met you as my bear hunting did not go so well. Should have come and picked up the fish. Thanks again!!
Well, I guess you're just going to have to buy another shot next year so we can meet :chuckle:. And I better do it before the bears come out - lots of guys in the woods right now. :tup:
Post by: Skillet on May 24, 2019, 10:29:01 PM
Coho VacPac filets: No longer taking orders on the vacpac coho filets. I'm down to my last few pounds. If you really want some, let me know and I'll get back to you with availability after I fill the last few orders. I updated the first post to show vacpac coho filets are about done.
Coho commercial glazed filets: Glazed filets, not vacpac. I normally only sell these to commercial customers, but if any HuntWa'ers are getting serious about a big smoker load or canning party and will run 50# at a time, this might work for them. Only available by the 50# case, I have a few cases left.
Spot Prawns: 4# bags are almost done, I might have half doz bags left. Once I get back to Everett, I'll do an inventory and advise.
Smoked Salmon: 4 boxes left.
King portions: Still have a few king portions, still 20% off to move them.
Halibut: Sold out.
Thanks for the support folks, it's been great to meet you guys and share stories. Lots of interesting people on this site, that's for certain! :tup:

Great to finally meet you and thank you for your effort in doing this.
I'm going to need you to turn around and bring me more shrimp, these 12 pounds are not going to last long.
30 minutes since the drop off...

One thing I heard over and over was something to the effect of "I normally like to catch my own, but between my busy schedule and the lack of opportunity, this is a good second option." I really appreciate the opportunity to fill in the gaps for team HuntWa, and look forward to stocking your freezers with a wider variety of products for years to come.
Thanks again to everybody who bought or expressed interest. Keep your eyes open for future opportunities!

Last shot with my prawns. Got an old neighbor that used to commercial fish....parkinsons has about taken him. Dropped off a few to him then made a pico de gallo ceviche kinda thing.
Now you’re talking . Haven’t made ceviche in a while. Looks fantastic!

Depends on how you feel about eating shrimp turd. I’m far from an expert, but I put them in boiling salted water. Usually until they float, this is maybe two minutes. Then remove and put them in ice water to stop the cooking. Then I peal and split along the back to de-vein. Cook however you want from there.
Post by: Buckmark on June 21, 2019, 04:06:22 PM
I'm about to dive into my prawns, is there any prep required before cooking? Thanks!!Easy peasy way to prep i do, thaw in water for a few minutes, take a pair of kitchen scissors and cut up the shell about 3/4 to the tail, gently squeeze at the tail and pull at the same time and the meat pops out, clean the vein off of it and then cook as you want....super easy.

Just peel and eatem no need to devein IMHOP .
Yeah, that.
Usually the vein comes off with the tail. That and they don’t spend their life in the bottom of a sludge tank in Thailand.
I never do anything more with local spots.

I did up a 10 pound bag of prawns - did them up chili garlic style.
There is steak in the fridge for sandwiches tomorrow, but the prawns didn't last.
