Abstract
My wife (Phyllis Morrow) and I have been asked by some friends to help them get started cutting king salmon strips. They have a one-half interest in a boat, and are going to give us a call when they have some fish. We’ve talked to them about the process, and they have made a small drying rack to which sides can be added when it’s time to smoke the fish. We arrive with lulus and a honing steel, bowls, some white plastic buckets, and extra twine. Our friends are actually quite well set up, except that they’ve forgotten to get salt. They have six kings to process. Phyllis starts cutting and demonstrating filleting while I return home for some salt and a washtub. When I get back she has filleted the first two and its cutting them into strips about an inch wide while one of our friends tries filleting a small king. She does an OK job, and the strips will probably dry without spoilage if the weather holds clear. I make up some brine, then start tying the strips in pairs of about equal size. Getting the knots right is important so that the strips don’t slip out and fall to the ground. The sun is shining, and it’s hot and still. The mosquitos have certainly found us. We start bringing the first bucketful, then go back to tying. We talk about the frustrations of working at the hospital, various friends we have in common, and how the fishing is.
