OK, back to the old thread. I just put another 6 lbs (four sides cut to three about 8 oz pieces each) of fresh wild caught sockeye from Costco in the fridge in Mr. T's brine for overnight.This is the third batch this summer, and Costco's price is coming down. They never got in the Copper River sockeye as in previous years, but I read the run was very poor this year, unknown cause. But regular ocean-caught sockeye looks good, and I always stock up for winter in the freezer. Maybe one more batch this summer while the run lasts. We're not eating as much as we used to, and we're not anticipating the holiday parties with demands for smoked salmon spread we usually have. Still about 8 lbs left over from last year. So total about 26 lbs or so in the freezer as of tomorrow. Pretty good supply.
