Smokin'
Funk's Super Valu on South Fraser Way at Clearbrook Road. Smoke and cryovac for $2.50/lb. Be sure to tell them what consistency you want for the finished product. Different species at different times of the year vary in oil/fat content. Example: took in a fresh chrome red spring this summer and they single smoked the fish. Wife picked it up and brought it home. It was the consistency of toothpaste! Took it back and asked them to smoke the shit out of it. They smoked it a second time and they made the call that it was still too moist. They threw it in again and it was PERFECT! Note: The longer the fish is smoked, the tastier and drier it becomes. They will accept the fish with only a field dressing (gutted and gilled) and will clean out the sand, fillet and prep. Take the fish into the store in a bag, cooler or some sort of a container. No mucky felt soles! It's a grocery store!
Stays good, in fridge only, for 6 months. No freezing required. Take in your freezer burnt carcasses as well and get them done. Great Xmas gifts for the in-laws.
Enjoy,
