I've already smoked a batch of salmon this year but somehow it seems to be gone already and I don't have enough in the freezer for another batch.
 Save Mart has a sale on whole, headless, pink salmon this week for $2.99/lb.  Pink salmon isn't near as good as king for most things but for smoking it is just fine.

Three 6-7 pound fish was just right to fill up my Big Chief smoker.

Yum!!
Keep an eye out for Chum or Dog Salmon which is a step up from Pink Salmon and smokes really well. It's usually marketed as Keta from its species name, Genus: Oncorhynchus
Species: Keta. Keta sounds better to the public than chum or dog.

In the game of biggest fish, if you can't enjoy routinely gettin' your ass handed to you, by great fishermen, then you don't belong in the NCKA.

I went back and looked at the Save Mart ad and was surprised that what I got was Keta salmon, not pink  :smt001
