In this episode we're kicking off our time near Petersburg by chasing an Alaskan icon: king (Chinook) salmon. We've never fished for this species before, so the challenge level is at an all time high. But with epic views and wildlife encounters like this, the fish are just a bonus. Luckily, Alaska's bounty is plentiful, and she's serving up some JUMBO salmon. Then we get it processed and enjoy it smoked back at the lodge. COMMENT BELOW and tell me what fish you guys like smoked and the best way

It's a time-honored way of preserving the catch—lightly brined, cold-smoked, then air-dried until it’s tough, salty, and packed with flavor. Think of it like salmon jerky, but with a whole lot more tradition behind it. | MeatEater | Facebook
