Salmon processing

Max's fillet station.


Here's a look at the beautiful King salmon Max caught. Poor thing lost its head at the river and doesn't look quite as majestic as it did when it came out of the water. The majority of the red salmon that come up the Copper are hatchery raised and released for subsistence use, but all of the Kings are wild. We take care in processing all of the fish we bring home, but the King gets treated like royalty!

1/2 a fish down, 39 1/2 to go.

My vacuum-sealing station. I'm lucky to have the mosquito-free work space.

1 fish down, 39 to go. This is just the King meat...mmmm.
