As the saying goes, it don’t suck.

Looks great Mike !!

Dumbledore would approve! (As do I.)

What time do we eat!

Looks awesome. Going to BC in August to visit the grandkids. Gotta make sure I put enough cushion in the budget to bring back some salmon candy - a lot.

Looks good... what is it? Smoked salmon?

Yes. Smoked salmon. It turned out great.

1 C salt
2 C sugar
1 Gal H2O
90 minutes brine.
Kudos to Sitka deer.


Form pellicle and smoke to preference. I used the Big Chief.

That does look good for sure.
What type wood did you use?

Oh and how long in the brine?

Were those fresh pinks or some you had left over from last year?

Looks killer!

90 minutes.

2021 sockeyes, Steve.

Now you gave him another reason to giggle!

That fish looks perfect!

Kinda is! Thanks again.

Damn that does look exceptional

What kind of wood did you use?

I use alder. Just the chips/chunks in a bag.

Looks perfect. Good job. Reminds me I need to start chasing.
