lol The kings here are good but very rich, they grill excellent without sticking.
We have two runs of chums the early summer run that goes with the kings,and a late summer fall run of bigger fatter fish that go farther up river, We call them fall Chums. Very nice fish ,have a higher oil content than king salmon in other parts of the state.
I fished in BB and ate a lot of reds,too dry IMO, although the dry fish and strips were pretty and tasted pretty good.I get a lost one or two every summer fishing chums and try one for nostalgic reasons,and ususaly goes to the dogs
Most here will take a chum home for dinner over a king , just too oily for every day eating,, but also make good oily dry fish and strips. Great for winter.
Ps we are going to get to sell the incidental catch of Kings this year so should be available this summer, Wont be cheap for sure.
