What a catch! How did you get it back home to Dallas? I hope you didn't suffer from the notorious Alaskan mosquitoes, so ravenous at this time of year.

Thank you. It’s a 18lb beautiful king salmon. The boatman said it would have won a prize at the local fishing competition a few weeks from now. Thankfully, the processing facility was right next to the dock, so they filet and flash freeze the catch immediately. The price was reasonable and the Fedex overnight rate was only $45. Believe it or not, we did not encounter a single mosquito. It might have been too rainy/windy for them to fly.
