Does anyone want some Salmon

[dirtyworm]

Here is my problem.  I don't eat Salmon, but I like to catch them.  Once the lake warms up, it is very difficult to revive a king and let it go.  I hate seeing a lifeless fish slowly sink to the bottom.  I'm just wondering if there is anyone out of Oswego that would want some extra fish?

Homeless Shelter or a Food Bank?  We donate road kill/unwanted deer to such agencies here in Ohio...just a thought!

I was thinking the same as ksc. I will also add a local zoo that has bears and other fish eating animals.

They are also great fertilizer for gardens and shrubs etc.

I also dont eat it but have many friends who will.. I bought a smoker specifically to smoke it and give it to people as gifts... Amazing how many people will want it/ eat it when you do the work to prep it for them

Why don't you eat them, summer silver feeding kings are delicious.  Nothing at all like the nasty black, moldy mushballs you catch in the rivers in the fall.

Were you asking me or the OP Tim?

[Tim Bromund]

more of a general question, kind of to both of you, I guess.

I'm a vegetarian now for about 10 years

 

When I ate meat I though when done right (smoked or bbq'd) the salmon out of Lake O were fine eating fish

I like salmon from Hannaford.. I have never eaten salmon out of Lake O. I would assume it tastes the same as the pacific salmon for the most part? When I do get one someday, I will most likely prep it like I do with salmon from the store. Cedar plank, very low temp on outdoor grill. Then I will get a decent smoker and smoke it at some point

I haven't eaten a serving of fresh salmon in 2 or 3 years even though I caught over 1500 of them last year between the lake and rivers. Some go back in the lake during spring and summer but, August fish go in the cooler. I release most river fish. I have more salmon-eating-friends than I can shake a stick at. I smoke several each year for myself. Also, I provide salmon and trout for an annual fish fry with a group of friends. They buy monk fish for me and I supply the salmon they love. I take up to 20 buddies fishing each year and they take the catch home. Also, a lot of Amish eat fish from my boat. The people I give fish to don't seem to care if it is a river fish or a lake fish. They enjoy whatever I give them.
