Dave Vedder Reverend Tarpones Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 8587 Loc: West Duvall	After reading all the discussion about Copper River chinok, I wondered how we feel about the taste of our various salmon species. _________________________ No huevos no pollo.

Duck In The Fog Returning Adult Registered: 04/02/99 Posts: 460 Loc: Yakima Wa. U.S.A.	You didn't give us a choice between fall run and spring run chinook. I personally won't eat a stinky fall run but love springers. The Duck

racerdan Juvenille at Sea Registered: 10/14/02 Posts: 132 Loc: longview	Caught a June hog last year that was the best tasting fish ive ever had. Last year caught some fall "up river brights" that were also very very good and very bright. _________________________ If that fish would have kept his mouth shut, you wouldnt be eating it.

trailrat77 Returning Adult Registered: 11/23/01 Posts: 363 Loc: rowers seat	The one's off my grill I'd have to vote for a bled out fresh, chrome springer as #1, second would be a 4-5lb salt fresh Coho... _________________________ Support our Troops! Will tie jigs for beer...

fishbreath Returning Adult Registered: 01/21/00 Posts: 270 Loc: Bellingham,WA	I love the taste of a fresh Springer but I bought some farm raised Atlantic at Costco the other day and it was fantastic. Pound for pound it was as good as ANY wild fish I have ever eaten and I eat a lot of fish.

RK43 Returning Adult Registered: 07/23/02 Posts: 475 Loc: Edmonds	Fresh river caught HUMPY. Bigger the HUMP the better. No, I love fresh sockeye, but do not get much. I ate a lot of chrome bright summer run staelhead, and it stacked up to most salmon I have eaten. _________________________ ARGH!!! The cooler's EMPTY!!!

Dave Vedder Reverend Tarpones Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 8587 Loc: West Duvall	Fishbreath: I agree with you about the farm raised salmon. I think one reason they are so tasty is that they are cleaned and bled quickly and rushed to the store. I suspect the farmed salmon in the stores is 3 to 7 days fresher than the commercial fish. Another reson some folks prefer atlantica is they tend to be milder flavor. If you want a strong salmon flavor you may prefer chinok, coho or sockeye. If you like a more delicate flavor you may prefer chum or atlantics. _________________________ No huevos no pollo.

fromcuthroattosteelies Returning Adult Registered: 09/08/01 Posts: 468 Loc: olympia	1. Springers - by far..... 2. Sockeye 3. Summer-run steelhead (much better than winter run fish) 4. Fall king 5. Coho 6. Winter-Run steelhead 7. Pink - C&R 8. Chum - C&R _________________________ Another patient exhibiting symptoms of the steelhead virus.

ET Returning Adult Registered: 11/21/01 Posts: 391 Loc: Tacoma	Of course this is all personal preference 1) Fresh saltwater coho 2) Springer 3) Farmed Atlantic(have to admit Costco sells a mean salmon) 4) Sockeye (Just too dry for me. I like my fish, more fishy!) 5) King 6) Why eat pinks and chums when 1-5 are available?
