I was joking on the front page about releasing a 50 pound chrome chinook, because our freezer is full.
Gary Benson just called and said, "Don't do that!!!" He explained that he has his salmon canned in one pound cans and gives them away, with custom labels of his own, for Christmas. (Might be a good idea to be on his Christmas list!!!)
Anyway, our freezer is full. What do you do with all of your fish? We are thinking of getting another freezer, and we are watching the class ads for one.
I have given some salmon away to some of our kids friend's parents. (Did I put the apostrophes in the right place there?) ..and they were thrilled! They acted like they had won the lottery! So, giving away fish is nice.
Do you smoke and have it pro vac packed? Canned? Smoked or not smoked? Can you smoke fish that has been previously canned?
We have found that we do better when we smoke frozen fish, rather than smoke it and then freeze it.
I mean, here we are, with nice vac packed spring chinook in the freezer, still. What would you rather keep? Frozen fall or spring? I know my answer!
I'd like to hear your ideas and what you do with your fish once your freezer is full. Do you continue to fish and retain? Do you give it away? Do you release?
