I BBQ 95% of my kokes and like cooking them whole. My typical routine when I catch one is to bleed 10 or so minutes on a stinger, then gut, bag, and ice. When I get home I rinse and finish cleaning and prepping to go right on BBQ, then blot them with p. Towel and vacuum seal/ freeze. The quality keeps for a long time and when defrosted after 6+ months they look fresh caught.
I am totally open to trying filleting and smoking and canning etc, but just haven't gotten to it.
I do like taking leftovers and boning/ mixing with Italian bread crumbs/ Panko and egg and pan frying salmon pattys.
