    Good luck.... and I must say, fresh caught salmon is amazingly tasty. I like to cover the salmon filet or steak with mayonnaise and squeeze some lemon on it... then broil it for a few minutes in the oven, till done. Incredible how much better it tastes than the store salmon. Cheers, RickO

    << <i>Beautiful fish... what did they weigh 25 lbs? >>



    OK, here is the story that goes with the fish:

    Historically the largest Silver Salmon ever caught in the Derby was 20 pounds. Imagine our excitement when we hooked a salmon on our first day out that weighed 22 pounds on our hand scale. Needless to say we did everything we could to keep the fish hydrated so it would not lose any weight as we turned the boat around and headed toward the port. As we raced the boat back to the Derby weigh in station and started counting how we would share the $30,000 in prize money, we reexamined the fish in detail and eventually concluded it was the most Silver Salmon looking King Salmon any of us had ever seen. But for the black lower gums (Silvers have white lower gums) it would have passed for a Silver. Ah well, it made for an exciting first day. Below is the photo of the "Silver" King as it was caught on the boat and again in the cooler.

    For comparison the salmon being held on the boat in the third photo below is an 11-12 pound Silver Salmon I caught the next day.

    I love baking salmon with blackened seasoning. Meanwhile, in a pan, pour some heavy cream and white cooking wine and let it simmer long enough to thicken. That will be your sauce to pour on the fish. Totally heavenly.

    Sorry for taking so long to respond, but the answer is yes that was the port of our departure.

    Went salmon fishing many times when I lived out west.... I agree, fresh caught salmon has amazing flavor. I coated it with mayonnaise prior to broiling, and Seattle Salmon spice. The mayonnaise seals in the juices and is undetectable when eating the cooked fish. Cheers, RickO
