Like Bruce T said,

Mix it with Hellman's mayonaise and make a sandwich just like tunafish.

I add a slice of cheese to it though.

Yummy.

Yep I add the piece of cheese also.

I like it mixed with zesty Italian dressing, on bread. I know the Alaskan guys think it's crap food (and I see why) but I do like it. I call it "Coon bait". I've eaten worse.

Use like canned tuna. Sandwiches, casserole, add to white sauce over noodles...... I am amazed that a lot of the negative comments are from folks who probably relish catfish.

......needs pickles and onion ,and butter both sides and fry it, makes a great Salmon melt.

A lot of negative comments from Alaskans
probably stems from the fact they have
up to 5 different species of Pacific salmon
to choose from.

The Humpy, or pink salmon along with the
Dog (chum) salmon are lowest on the totem pole
in terms of taste, firmness of flesh, and nutrient value.

If you catch a pink, you better kill it quick, bleed it out,
and get the flesh on well drained ice as quickly as possible
as their flesh turns mushy in a hurry.

Some say Pinks are mushy while they are still Dime Bright silver.

While they are not the flesh quality of a Silver, ocean fresh Sockeye (RED)
Salmon or a Silver KIng (Chinook) still sporting Sea Lice,
Pink Salmon are none-the-less good to eat.

All IMHO.

Yep buncha salmon snobs. If it ain’t king it ain’t king. Silvers is best & ::;(()) the rest.
I do believe a hungry man would eat chum salmon aka dog salmon or pink salmon aka humpies and be glad to have them. OP said that was all he could get. Are their better tasting salmon yes, is fresh out of the river tastier than caned yep. Are they more nutritious uhh probably not. And X10 on the catfish. JM2€

Now I feel weird.


I open the can, drink the juice, and eat the salmon on club crackers, with a slice of sharp cheddar, and a splash of hot sauce.



But I like sardines, and smoked oysters too.

I.ve read enough of this garbage! Time for crappie and walleye.

I guess the best way to eat it is the way you like it.
I'll vote for Finster's patties.

Open can, feed to the dog.

Someone mentioned chum salmon also market as "Keta" salmon.
I've never tasted it canned, but as a self confessed "salmon snob" I really like fresh bright chum.
Good flavor, oily enough, just not bright red though.
My list in order of preference:
King
Coho
Sockeye or Chum
Pink

Even my dog team would curl their lips at Humpies.

Agree with Waggler that a Chum, still in the salt, isn't too bad.........if you have to eat salmon at all.

Around here you will find most people would rather eat a flathead or a good trimmed up blue than any kind of salmon or trout . Salmon and trout are for yuppies and city slickers ,the ones that feel guilty for not being vegetarian .
Myself i like almost all fish .

Lol.........I'm about as far from being a city slicker as you can get.I will take any salmon over a bluefish any day.

I ment blue catfish and flathead catfish .Ive never eaten a bluefish . Myself i llike salmon baked , grilled , or smoked basically the same way i fix carp. Canned it makes good salad with miracle whip mustard and sweet pickles maybe eaven some boiled eggs and onions thrown in (another way i fix carp ) . Its just real hard to get folks around here to eat fish any other way than fried with cornmeal

Grilled bluefish fresh out of the ocean is YUMMY I prefer it to dorado, mahi-mahi, dolphin or whatever you call it.

Pinks? I just puked a little in my mouth.

I like it right out of the can or on a salad or with mayonnaise on a sandwich. The best part is the bones.

Lol....
Then dang it man say complete sentences and stop talking that half sentence city slang.....
