I like them but I like fish....as in the actual taste of fish.....i.e. fish that taste "fishy."

Most people like grease and batter. Sometimes the vehicle for the grease and batter they consume is via a piece of fish that tastes the least amount like fish as possible. That's why everyone loves walleyes. They're the blandest type of fish that tastes the least amount like fish there is......making the perfect vehicle for whatever type of grease and batter/breading people are particularly fond of.



To each their own. I realize I'm in the minority on a lot of my culinary tastes.....and eat some weird shit from time to time.....like the eyeballs off a smoked fish head, still lukewarm goose heart sometimes not even rinsed pulled out of a freshly killed goose carcass.....

Great lakes salmonoids are pretty poor compared to their saltwater life cycle/freshwater spawning cousins. Ditto for MN stream trout. The ones pictured are wild, naturally reproducing browns, which still subpar to their bright red meat cousins, are at least a little better than the Whitewater pellet eaters......especially if you brine and smoke them right.

Salmonoids out of Superior are bright red meat. I agree they are not nearly as good as saltwater salmon but I’d take them over in inland streamer any day.

Nice fish. Looks like amazing scenery.

I've only eaten ones out of Door County WI and they've all been gray and fishy. I don't think they're terrible, especially when smoked, but they're not red meat Alaskan run salmon. I've been meaning to try Superior for lake trout and if that's what they're like? Then all the more reason why I need to get out there.

SEMN is pretty cool country. There are spots that make you pause and wonder if you're still in MN. It's fun for a weekend once a year....

Cohos and Kings on Superior are bright red meat. Browns and splake are bright orangish red. Splake are my favorite. I’ll take some pics if we make it out this weekend and keep some.

If you get em going in or out of the rivers to spawn they ain’t good.

Still no comparison to salt water salmon but they are good.

i always wondered how they got salmon to be able to live in fresh water then migrate to fresh water to spawn and die.

You know I'm bored when I'm posting pics of sunsets.....

MN springs are the worst.


I did do just a little breaking the law breaking the law in order to stay true to myself.
