Alder Smoked Salmon from Alaska

[Michael C.]

Hi all,

It's been awhile since I posted some pics here, I finally got Photobucket figured out now.

A few weeks ago, I flew to Ketchikan for several days, and did a lot of fishing for Salmon. I caught my limits each day. It was awesome fishing up there! I had the fish processed, some smoked, some just fillets, and shipped home. I thawed out a package last night, then in a bag with Kona Coast Spicy Teriyaki marinade. I used Alder wood chips, cooked indirect for 15 minutes. The salmon came out Perfect!!!!! It was super moist, just flaked away, and full of flavor, with the perfect amount of smoke flavor.
Here are the pictures .

First day, I went with http://www.ketchikanakfishing.com Skipper Jared is a great guy!!! Super nice guy, we caught some good size "Pinks". 2nd day, I fished with Ken on
http://www.ketchikanfishing.net/ken . Ken knows how to land fish, and everybody landed their limits within 2hrs of fishing!!! Both guys, highly recommended!!!!

Cool! Almost went with Ken, but he had no availability the day I wanted. Went with Ken from Northern Lights Charters. Same thing, 2 hours we limited out! Miserable rain and high winds!
