Getting the Lady Ruth Ready For Fishing |
Matt is back from fishing. I have made a little blog for him so you can keep updated on your local fisherman. I have posted a video about sea lice. It is animated and fun for the whole family. Everyone should watch it. It is quite possibly one of the main reasons for the low abundance of Frasier River sockeye. There are masses of fish farms directly in the migratory path of small fry heading out to sea. The San Juan Island sockeye are part of the Frasier River run so we depend on healthy stocks for a commercial fishery down here. Alas, abundance is very low so we will not be fishing for sockeye in the Puget Sound this year. Matt has brought home Bristol Bay  sockeye that he caught this year. This is available to you. Matt went fishing last night in Bellingham Bay and caught a couple of King Salmon, not enough for all of us yet, but there is a way to taste this fish. Matt is doing a fillet demonstration at 11:00 a.m. at the Ag Tent on Friday of the fair so that is a good time to watch and learn and hopefully taste a snippet of heaven. Madden Surbaugh will be also be serving Matt's fish in his restaurant, Steps. This provides you with a great opportunity to eat local local. Money is precious and should be spent wisely. Eating at Steps is money well-spent. Take time to go out and eat a special meal at Steps and support our community!
On Wednesday, the 19th, if all goes well, Matt will have humpies (pinks) and kings (chinooks)
Kings $8.00/lb (head off dressed)
Pinks $7/each (head off dressed)
Pinks $5/each round (embarrassed)
Frozen Sockeye Fillets (Matt's from Bristol Bay) $9/lb
 In regards to the sockeye fillets, Matt says, "These are my own fish handled with care, processed at a small processing plant in Alaska (another small family business)."
Matt says, "These pink salmon are bled and iced (as always) and well-cared for and because of the care I give to these fish, they are an excellent fish and the price is just unbeatable."
Kings range between 7 to 15 pounds, dressed weight and come from Samish Bay.
Pinks reange between 3 to 4 pounds, dressed weight and come from Skagit Bay.
This all depends on Matthews skill as a fisherman. Matthew says, "It depends on the will of God because the skill is there."
