 Bury it in the garden and plant a rose bush on top of it, sorry I can't think of anything else to use them for. Catch and release for me.

Cheers

 Fry it in the pan but leave it pink in the middle (the outside will be pale and inside still pink) and put a nice creamy sauce on top with salad. Always tastes good

Smile V Fish

Sat, 2014-05-10 19:09

Tough equation, and I have had to get all my measuring equipment out. Ruler, tape measure, scales, vernier, micrometre and considering the angle of the dangle, the time of day and all other factors there is no doubt that your smile is bigger than that huge salmon. Well done kingfisha1, great effort.

100% for keen, and always seeking knowledge. Good to see.

I always thought the soak in milk was from an old joke - "what do you with salmon.  Soak it in milk in an old gumboot for 24hours. Throw out the milk and salmon and eat the gumboot - Yum"
