  • There's nothing like learning a craft from somebody who has lived it. Something about a hand made smoke house seals the deal. What Shawn does is clearly second nature to him as he smokes Alaskan Salmon for his friends, neighbors, wife (and self of course). Well, now that I've watched this episode I am hungry.

    Also pro tip if you think salmon is good right after it comes out of the smoker, wait until the next day after its sat for about 24 hours after being smoked. The smoke has had time to really cure into the fish and it tastes so much more prominent. I like to enjoy it different ways, but a great way is throw a few pieces on a chopping block chop it all up together, put it in a bowl and mix it with some good quality cream cheese, spead it on a good quality fresh bagel, sprinkle some chives or a little onion, and enjoy. When you finally chop the salmon it really brings out the flavor even more.

    This type of lifestyle and just down home goodness is what brought me to Alaska. I smoke my own salmon as well but I really enjoyed watching this video. Something I enjoy about watching older men with a lot of wisdom talk about something they're passionate about.

    My Mom learned how to smoke salmon from the Cowichan Indians on Vancouver Island. It was so good. They use the brown sugar and salt . I remember her smoking it in an old fridge. I wish I had paid more attention so I could have learned it.

    I used to have a smokehouse similar to this one. Mine had a small 30 gallon barrel to the left so no fire was actually inside it. For years I smoked and sold Salmon, Hake, whatever was available. Good times. :) Made me remember my youth. Thank you.

    My Dad taught me how to smoke fish and I remember him saying Salt and Brown sugar is all you need...I have tried other combinations over the years but always come back to the original...I agree with you 100%...Great video...

    Thank you for a great piece of educational treat, I live in Seattle area, catch and smoke my own fish. Best tasting smoked salmon I ever tried was one smoked in Alaska. My dream is to replicate that taste with my fish...

    For me tge best smoked salmon are sockeye done with cold smoke. Cold smoke requires a fire box about 25 to 50 feet away from the smoke house. Use fire rated duct work to plumb from fire box to house. Takes a lot longer but it's worth the effort. Although this person's set-up is very well done.

      Yep, my grandparents used a smokehouse, on a little rise, close to the house. The smoke house was on top of the little hill. The fire was maintained down the hill, connected to the smokehouse with a chimney flew. The fire was maintained for days by a fire keeper, taken in shifts by the family.

    Grew up eating smoked salmon and sturgeon. Back in the 1950's I still remember the great taste. Can't afford the smoked fish now , but back then everyone shared their caught fish.

    Nice, I just did 12 lbs of chinook on the traeger ..... it was good .... but next time I will go cooler on the temp :)

  • @albertschumann8815
    @albertschumann8815 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I’ve been smoking fish on a small electric smoker. So your temp is not above 120* F? Those fish really have a great color.
    Next time I’ll try that low temp with wood chips. Any suggestions?

  • @XxMrRoachxX
    @XxMrRoachxX 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Is this considered Hot Smoke or Cold Smoke or something in between because I thought cold smoke is below 90F and hot smoke around 225F? Please teach more knowledge! Appreciate it!

    Damn...takes me back to my childhood. My dad used to take me and brothers to Michigan to trap, hunt mushrooms. There was a boat smokehouse we would visit buy some. Walking through the hull of that boat with all this smoked fish hanging...what a unforgettable aroma.

    What is the recipe for the sugar and salt combination? Brown or white sugar? Is there a specific ratio per pound? Thank you for the video!

    • @ianfrancisledesma4431
      @ianfrancisledesma4431 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Brown sugar and salt...just sprinkle on... adjust to taste the next time around. No ratio given..it's all freehand.

    Really enjoyed this video . Been smoking in Texas for forty years - brisket,ribs, etc so good to see other smoking techniques. My neighbor just got back from Alaska and gave me 20 lbs of salmon so will be my first try at smoking salmon. Got a. lot of old school knowledge from your video. It’s all about fire management and understanding how to move the protein around to get an even cook

    How much salmon is he authorized to catch and smoke

    • @xX420x69xbruhXx
      @xX420x69xbruhXx หลายเดือนก่อน

      Authorized? Most places here in AK have different sport and/or subsistence regulations. It can vary a lot depending on local laws. For instance, Kenai dipnetting allows 25 fish for the head of household, and 10 more for each other household member. But the local river I fish at with a rod is 2 per day per person.

    Do you freeze the vacuum sealed bags after? Or do they have a shelf life?
    He said he oiled the racks? What did he use?

    • @curttundra
      @curttundra หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Freezer any fish that won't be eaten in a few days. It's best to can the smoked fish. Canned fish will keep for several years and comes out tasting better!
