Me personally, I have yet to find a salmon (of any specie) that I care to eat, smoked or otherwise.

One thing I see alot of guiding in Ak. is that first timers want to keep them all (kings, silvers, pinks and chums) return guests for the most part just want kings and silvers, if they do keep pinks and chums they usually say thats the fish they give to family/friends.
