Can't say that I have eaten too many fish caught in our local rivers, but I tend to prefer salmon straight from the SALT.

TOP THREE ARE:
1. Sockeye from the Salt are my Favorite

Blackmouth or Fresh Coho are a close 2/3

Haven't had much opportunity to catch the returning Chinook, but from what I remember, they are delicious too.

In preparing them - SIMPLE = BETTER for me!

AND If I stand there long enough, I may someday get to try a winter run saltwater-caught Steelhead !
