If you must smoke, smoke Salmon!

Video of “Davis’ famous smoked salmon

Hi friends,

We have been very busy these past few weeks getting prepared for winter. We have been winterizing our cabin and gathering fish and deer meat. Our friends helped us build a smoker and we smoked and jarred a batch of fish.

We went fishing out across the Bay on Afognak Island in a really cool lagoon near Danger Bay, where there were thousands of fish everywhere. Besides smoking the salmon we love to grill it and blacken it in a cast iron skillet. My family from Oklahoma sent me up some awesome spice rub calld Papa Q’s. Along with the spice rub he sent us up some home made BBQ sauce that is out of this world! If you like BBQ sauce you would like it on salmon. I have not heard of very many people using it on salmon, but trust me it is good.

Well folks, we are going to get ready to go up to Sharatin Bay to look for some more silvers! Stay tuned to hear all about our run in with a Kodiak Brown Bear!

Take care, Jill Davis from the Wilds of Alaska

    Glad that you got the package and that the rub and sauce lived up to our declarations….I have to say that I would not have thought that BBQ and salmon would be that good together but your picture made my mouth water. Am so enjoying watching your videos and keeping up with what you are doing.

    Jill…you will have to post some pic’s of your smoker if you have any… that is another thing that Zack is really interested in . He has one that he made 20 years or so ago…and then has one that we have stored at a friends house until we settle in some place as it takes a wench truck to move.
