Another sprout lover here Kat, looks good!!! How much did that salmon weigh in your photo? Don
Don-- I wish I knew! I'm the little runt in the red slicker, at about age 2. My dad (holding the leviathan) was 6' 2" tall, if that helps for size reference! We had a set-net site in Nikiski AK, and that size of king salmon wasn't too uncommon (at least not enough to write bragging-details down on the picture!) That one he caught by hand essentially... It had struggled free of the net as he was pulling the nets in to shore, so he jumped in real quick and snagged it before it could swim away. (We kids, of course, thought he was magic, just pulling a fish out of nowhere like that!) I'm hoping to do up some hard-smoked salmon like we used to cold smoke in our rickety old smoke house someday soon, and I would kill for that kinda fish connection again!!
And in defense of the greens-- I had to do SOMETHING to counteract the bacon maple cupcakes we ate for dessert!! But keep whinin'-- next time I'll post pictures of grilled tofu along side the veg!! Mwah ha ha...
