Vintner: Good one, Koan. Damn, I envy you eating fresh caught halibut. koan: Fresh caught king crab is the real prize. And dungeness and tanner. King crab has a taste that is the best taste I know of. We also have a spot prawn that is only up here and tasts different than standard prawns It is sweeter. Interestingly large Tanner crabs (called snow crabs) may be as good as kings if one eats them every day. Not as rich, but a super good taste. But getting back to the fishing off the Alaskan coast. It is like nothing you have ever seen. Put a pice of herring on a hook and you will have something eatable the minute it hits the bottom, or before. We have a great fish market that buys right from the boats, so all the fish is very freash. I eat mostly king salmon and sockeye. I can get fresh king salmon all year. In the winter we call them feeders. The minute salmon is frozen it starts to get rancid. They say if a salmon is bled it will last 8 months in the freezer, if not bled three months. I eat my frozen salmon within weeks or it does not taste good to me. Halibut are everywhere. I like the small ones the best 10 to 30 lbs. 10 lbs are called chicken halibut and over 100 lbs are called whales. Halibut keep for months in the freezer. less fat to go bad I guess. Interestingly many people like the rock fish as well as the halibut. People do not eat flouder up here or cod? They use them for crab bait. I will probably live to be several hundred years old with all the Omega threes I have taken in, no sun to mess up my DNA and hundreds of miles of bike paths to keep in shape. I like to visit down south, but am always glad to get back to my hideout-lol.
