in praise of white spring!

I was lucky enough to catch a 26 lb white sept 17 off the breakwater in Victoria. That fish was the thickest fish I've caught with virtuallly no belly fat.
It's been smoked now as well as a nice size red and that white is my new fav. I was told it was a Ellwa river from Port Angeles. Yummy.

Marbled is not a white imo. It's in it's own class which is great.

Last year I tried to make some traditional lox using a slab of white. It turned out really badly. Like eating lard with an unpleasantly strong fishy taste. Funny, the rest of that same fish was great, both bbq'd and hot smoked.

White springs are excellent hot smoked. Nice and oily. Canned is pretty good too. I prefer red spring as table fare.
