Ok, with that out of the way, onto the actual post.
Jason did plenty of fishing while he was in Kodiak, but didn't have the best luck with salmon. His halibut charter trip resulted in 20 pounds of halibut once it was processed (he did catch the two biggest fish of the charter, but the 5 of them split the fish evenly). But he was only able to catch one Coho salmon during his time in the river.
Thankfully, he maintains a friendship and reciprocal supply agreement with the head brewer at the Kodiak Island Brewery, so Mike generally hooks him up with fish, while Jason supplies him with beer he can't get up there.
This time around, the fish supplies included some stuff from Mike's freezer like usual, but it also included two sides of King salmon literally fresh off the boat. As Jason was packing up his fish box with his frozen stuff on Friday afternoon, Mike stopped by and gave him a freezer bag full of the freshest salmon you can get without catching it yourself.
And, tonight, it was dinner. And it was good. So very very very good. I've missed the real fresh stuff!
This is the before picture - when it's this fresh, all it needs is a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and it gets broiled for about 10 minutes for that size piece. The only thing I did wrong was to not cook up more of it!
