I don't know about the general public here on the harbor, but this writer has never really been in the know about fishing. Cooking fish however, has recently become quite fun for our family, as the fishermen in my life have been providing lots of material to cook with. When this fun event crossed my email boasting the title, "Traditional Salmon Bake", I was more than a little intrigued and had to instantly walk my fingers across Google search and do a little digging to find out exactly what a "traditional" salmon bake entailed. To start with, did you know that there is a specific way to filet the salmon in order to cook it in the traditional style? It is true! Check out the image below.
Split your salmon down the back, remove the bones and voila! A beautiful slab of salmon ready to cook...but not on the grill and not in the oven.
The coastal Native Americans did not have the modern tools we use today and instead would roast the meat by fire. They would prop fish between skewers with the belly to the flame and slow roast the filet to savory perfection.
This is how you will find the salmon cooking at the Community Hall at Schafer State Park this Saturday, October 13. The salmon feed starts at 1 pm and is sponsored by FOSLS, The Friends of Schafer and Lake Sylvia State Park. Discovery Passes are available at Schafer during the event and attendees are also encouraged to join FOSLS for just $15. If you decide to join, the $15 buys you a free dinner with your membership. Non-members are welcome as well and a $7 donation is encouraged.
