Yesterday I was lucky to get a fresh Fraser chinook. It was an 18-pound whitey, shiny like a freshly minted quarter and ocean fresh (with some sea lice still attached to it.

I have caught and eaten ocean fresh white chinook before and I've loved it, but it was always smoked or grilled. But given the freshness and quality of this particular fish, I turned some of it into sashimi, and boy oh boy, was it ever good. :)
Move over, tuna and atlantic salmon. This is what sashimi was meant to be:

Looks good Milo but aren't you worried about the worms and parasites if it hasn't been frozen first?
I'd love to eat it fresh but I guess I'm just too paranoid about those things.

Nice fish, looks delicious.
BTW, beautiful plates Milo, may I ask where you got them ? My wife would love a set of those. :P

As a general rule, I freeze it first, too. But in this particular case, based on the excellent general aspect of the fish and the firmness and texture of the flesh, I decided to give it a go.
I'm still standing, so I guess it was a good call. ;)

It was a gift from a good friend, and I think they were bought in one of those fancy native art stores on Water Street in Gastown.
I'll try to dig out the exact information if I can.

Good friend was my wife. She got it in a local native art gallery in Kelowna

That is a beauty Milo, tasty looking sashimi too.

Milo, Milo, you should always freeze the fish.
The parasites you see are protein. The ones you don't, will kill you.

That looks amazing. Can't wait to catch the first white of the year. It'll get smoked up nicely

Hit up the vedder, it's full of whites right now. last week I landed 3 jacks and 2 adults in 2 days.

Hit the vedder the last 3-4 weeks (except the last one) but no luck :(
I'd like to try again next weekend but they are closing up the road for the bridge work it's going to be a caos on the road for the weekend of the 30th coming from Van. I guess I'll have to wait a couple of weeks more... Or just take a day off ;)

i love red spring or sockeye on the bbq or panfried or roasted but white spring is more oiler which is great for curries haha
-
looks delicious! gonna try that someday. the Japanese would love it!
also glad to see someone on this forum thats not squeamish of fish, sometimes I think no1 here likes to eat fish haha
though I would have froze it still most likely
-
These white chinooks amazes me. Caught one in the vedder 3 weeks ago and I baked its fillets without the skin with calamansi marinade, sugar and soy sauce and it was really delicious!
