Stupid question but , a friend of mine started to fillet a spring I gave him to do up in the smoker . He called me and told me that the upper half of the spring was really pink and the back half was really red like sockeye . My question is , is this what you would class as a marble ? :P After bonking it last week and cutting it open , it was really white to me ???

I have a little bit of trouble responding to this, as I'm picturing the back and the top both as along the spine, and you gave those two sections different colours. LOL
I think, though, that you are probably looking at a marbled spring. I've caught a fair few before, and they tend to be pinky-white in one section and more red-ish in the other.
Sounds like a nice fish!
:D

Marble - or a sick fish.

Good questions, I wonder it that has anything to do with their fat reserves, amount of protein they have etc.
Or maybe cross breed.
Any scientists out there?

Did the meat look like this ???

There are different degrees of marble also. Some look like this (just white fringes along edges) and other are pure white with red stripes or vis-versa. Some spring are also a pinkish colour throughout the whole fillet, I would consider that a marble as well ;)
Most likely cross breeding

Yes. exactly like that.
Nice fillets.

Mine don't look so great after I try to de-bone them (the rib cage part) ;D I find if you leave them in the smoker long enough most of the bones dissapear anyways ;)

Yup , that's what it looks like ;D another 24 hours of brine and in the smoker it goes ;)
