Salmon Fishing in Alaska - the Deadliest Catch
Posted by Fin on 27 July 2009
I just got back from a cracking weekend fishing for salmon down in Seward on the Kenai Peninsula. Ron and his law firm partner Jim took me fishing on board their old friend Ralph's vessel - the American Maid. They had told me stories of how they go fishing for as little as a day but come home with coolers full of wild salmon and halibut - enough fish for all the family for a year. The same is true with moose - Ron isn't a big hunter but like other Alaskans, most men hunt and eat what they shoot. Their freezer is full of moose meat which has become my favourite red meat because it tastes so good as its so lean - moose burgers, mooseloaf, moose burritos, moose tracks caramel cup chocolate ice cream (not moose but I love it anyway!)
