My mom & I were shopping for groceries the other day and as we wander past the fish section, my mom asks if we can grill up some salmon for dinner. Being in the northwest and all, we get wonderfully fresh salmon so I said, \u201cgo for it\u201d and left her at the fish counter. She was gone a rather long time but when she appeared, she was carrying a large, brown package with a price tag of $6.50.<\/p>\n
So that evening, Kevin heads out to prep the coals while my mom & I prep the salmon. We decided to use water soaked wood chips for a nice smokey flavor. However, when we open the brown package, we realize that my mom didn\u2019t buy some salmon steaks, she has bought a whole salmon!<\/p>\n
Our local store had just received that morning twenty or so freshly caught salmon. They were selling them for .99\/lbs. My mom fought her way to the front of the frenzy and bought the smallest fish she could find. But even a small salmon is pretty huge – easily 10 lbs or more. We had six two inch think steaks and two fillets in all. The best part was, it had no fish smell and was this wonderful deep orange color. Talk about fresh! We grilled it all and ate until we hurt.<\/p>\n
Normally, I don\u2019t like salmon (or fish in general) because the taste is too strong. However, after last night, I\u2019ve discovered that I\u2019m a fish snob. I only like fish that\u2019s been out of the water less than 48 hours. \u2018Cause that salmon was onolicious!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
