  • We went dip netting on the Copper River in Alaska. These salmon are the most expensive sockeye salmon and we catch them in the most dangerous personal use fishery in Alaska. The fishery is in a canyon that has overhanging cliffs into silty boiling water, if you fall in you are in real trouble. We catch both King Salmon and Sockeye Salmon on our trip here. I made caviar from the eggs and stripped the fillets for smoked dried salmon jerky.

    You should start scooping out the meat along the back bone .You will increase your meat harvest by at least a pound per fish. It really adds up and it's great for dishes like salmon alfredo .

      I don’t leave more than a couple ounces of meat on a salmon carcass, but sometimes I’ll take and broil the back bone section off a king salmon and that’s really really good

      The egg skein you could eat, but it would be eating connective tissue… not really appetizing

      you have to in this fishery. They make you do it so the fish are marked and cant be sold to a processor.
