Gearing Up
Things are getting busy around K-town. The streets are being cleaned, the docks are getting fresh paint, the shops are receiving their merchandise to start the summer with. It seems we are all gearing up for the season one way or another.
People are making room in their freezers for this years fresh catches. The long liners had their first opening of their season. It's still slow going, but with the price they will be getting, if they catch just a couple good size fish each time out they'll make some money. I can't wait to get some fresh fish. A nice King salmon would make a great bar-b-cue right about now. Everything is so much better fresh, da. I'm really looking forward to some fresh black cod, it's so good smoked, if you could only keep it lit. HA HA!!
I noticed that the skunk cabbage has sprouted and is letting the world know that it's back. If you've never seen it check the pictures. When it's at it's peak the leafs can be as long as 4' x 2'. The Natives used it to wrap their fish in and bake it in the coals of their fires. The process gives the fish a peppery taste, that is quite good exactly.
It's late and I have had a full day for a day off, so till next time,Be Good or Be Good at it!
