Worked on a Bristol Bay Sockeye gill-netter last summer as cook and deck hand. One of the big buck sockeyes I filleted out had a wonderful firm deep red meat. I cut out a hunk, sliced it shashimi style, dipped it in soy and couldn't believe how awesome it was. Other than that I could care less for Sockeye. Give me a big fat King anytime! The worst fish I ever had was from my first time out on the Pacific as a deck hand long lining for Black Cod (Sable Fish). We were getting sdome of these crazy looking fish I had never seen before. Look like a cross between a flounder and a halibut but with huge narley teeth like a ling cod. We would just throw them back for lack of market. I couldn't imagine them not being excellent due to how excellent sole, flounder and halibut are. So, I filleted some out. vac. pack'd and froze. Took the best of care with them. Low and behold, the beautiful fillets when cooked turn to tasteless mush that none of our seven cats would even touch. Never have I worked so hard on fertilizer for the garden. Surprized it didn't kill the plants. These fish are called Arrowtooth flounder or Turbot. I guess the Long Liners in Alaska have a way of testing each individual fish of this species as it comes aboard for quality. You see it in the markets for about two to four dollars a pond labeled as Turbot. I'll never buy it after my experience. Bent rods to you all. A fellow sportfisherman at heart.
