Post subject:  Care of resh caught salmon?
Care of fresh caught salmon summary outline so far:

1, Fish in boat

2. Bash on head to stun, not kill

3. Cut or clip gills on each side to bleed out salmon

4. Put salmon back in water to bleed out for 10-15 minutes

Protect from seal lions, etc. while letting bleed out

Don’t put back in water if warmer than? ?60 degrees?

5. If possible, gut bled out salmon, preserving roe with minimum handling

On ice but not in contact with ice or freshwater (in foodsaver or freezer bags)

Option: ice / rock salt / little water slurry


6. If not possible to gut bled out salmon, cool it down:

On ice but not in contact with ice or freshwater

Option: ice / rock salt / little water slurry

7. Home care:

Salmon: scale, filet or steak, use fresh or freeze in foodsaver or freezer bags.

Wait 6-8 hours until salmon has gone through rigor mortis?
