Do you trust Lake O salmon?

[fishdawg]

a couple mature lake O salmon salmon each season is no worse for you then a pack of smokes IMO

but yes the smaller ones 2-5 lbs are the best

Been eating L.O. salmon and trout since I was a kid (and thats a long time ago)... I have found them both tasty and healthy ...in fact I would say ... the salmonids are a good barometer of healthy waters ... if they look or act sick dont eat them ... but if they look and act healthy ... well you're probably good to go ... but then .... I was a smoker for 25 years so... your results may vary

Eat it. I agree on the planking. Here is a good recipe that takes the alewife taste out.

Marinate clean filets (skin taken off) in a mixture of a lot of maple syrup and a little lemon juice and some salt. (only for a few hours).

 

Take the fish out and boil up the marinade and reduce until its as thick as the original maple syrup was, add some butter salt and a bit of pepper.

Then plank on a soaked cedar board in the BBQ and baste the salmon on the plank with the syrup while it cooks.

 

You will love it!
