>mfw they feed the salmon food coloring
>mfw they salmon feces in the beds fucks up the environment
>mfw cross breading fucks the salmon runs in the PNW
>mfw you don't care

Keta is fine for smoking

>fishy tasting
How is this a valid complaint about fucking fish?

"fishy tasting" doesn't mean literally "it tastes like a fish should taste".

It means "it has a flavor reminiscent of low tide, rotting fish, or other example of overly strong and unpleasant fish flavor, as though the fish is starting to go bad".

This is obvious to non-autists.

Well I literally have autism so it's rude to make fun of me.

I wasn't making fun of you, I was stating a fact.

If I was making fun of you I'd have said something like "autists suck"...which I didn't.

Fellow autist, BTW.

>tfw can get fresh wild sockeye any time I want

who else /pnw/ here

>Makes a salmon tier list
>doesn't list based chinook/king salmon

Shit nigger, what are you doing?

Do you mean to tell me there are non-autistic people that use this website?

30 mins from the Oregon coast, pnw is godlike . I want to smoke my own salmon, any suggestions ? i have a small electric wood chip smoker

Electric smoker is perfect for fish, which IMHO is best when cold-smoked.

It's pretty damn simple.

Why do people remove the belly meat?

King salmon da best if it's available (i.e., never). Atlantic farmed salmon tastes better than the other wild options because the fat content and distribution are comparable to King salmon. If I want to eat lean fish, then it isn't gonna be salmon.

They're the ones having normal discussions while it seems anyone without the disorder hangs around to call them niggers and flex their holier-than-thou muscles at them.
We make this site, you normies just shit on it.

its the fattiest.

sunday dinner freshly caught

How will you prepare it?

Scotbong here. I can confirm that I purchase Sockeye more often than Scottish because the only Scottish salmon on sale at the supermarket is farmed. However, my fishmonger has proper wild-caught Scottish salmon and I rank that as the top one. The only reason I buy Sockeye is because it's wild-caught and for the novelty of the different flesh.

P.S. Loch Trout and Sea Trout are pretty ebin also.

God tier should also include chinook/king but otherwise i completely agree.

well I meant more along the lines of seasoning and time. I can't really fuck up putting something on a rack in a smoker with one temperature.

Pleb, it's all in the age of the fish.

Even a sockeye about to spawn isn't very good for anything but smoking.

Also, try Lox sometime.

I think Atlantic is probably the only kind I've had since I don't waste trips to nice restaurants on fish.

I like it well enough though.

been smoking fish like crazy.

norwegian salmon

This.

The age and handling of the fish makes much more of a difference than the type.

That said: copper river chinook or gaspé
