It swam right up to our door and said: "Take me. I'm yours!"
 

actually our Native American next door name (5 ft 1 if she is an inch) came to the door, with this 25 pound already gutted fish, in one of those big pull tie trash bags. It was a locally caught King Salmon. She'd gotten two and wanted us to have one of them. At $9 to $13 a pound fresh, that was a precious gift for sure. Hubby may smoke it. He just finished up fillet stuff on it. It stretched head to tail and filled half the counter on the left of the kitchen cabinet. WOW.

ENJOY!!!!:) Awesome neighbor.

He scares me

I don't fish, and can't imagine pulling a 25 pounder out of the ocean. YIKES

thanks friend Mryna!

I would love to catch one like that!

What a fantastic gift. Enjoy!

My mouth is watering.....

My folks used to go salmon fishing 40 years ago. We ate so much fish growing up I hardly eat it now. But there is nothing better than bar-b-qued fresh salmon. Enjoy how ever you fix it.

oh wow nice neighbor i love smoked salmon. enjoy

glad the gift was enjoyed. The fish was about as big looking in the bag she brought it over in. She is small

MERCY!! Your heart will be so healthy after eating all this fish, you may live forever!

Oh man would I like to have a meal of that. Fresh too. Amazing.

There is nothing like good salmon. What a nice neighbor!

That's a real beauty. Enjoy!

Wow, makes me nostolgic. When my hubby and I were living in Oregon (1972-1984) we went to Brookings to deep sea fish. We had our own 18 ft. boat and fished all summer for salmon and the last 2 weeks before the season closed we fished for bottom fish. We woul filet the bottom fish and freeze them in water so when we thawed them out to cook they were just like fresh caught. Most of the salmon I canned. The last season we fished I canned 78 pints of salmon. Sure wish I had some of that good fish now!! Congrats on having such a nice neighbor to share with you.

Fresh smoked salmon.....what a wonderful gift!

i just received two of those also. isn't it great? a fella that hunts part of our farm brought me ours.

Wow! What a nice neighbor. They are delicious!

I hope it was delicious. Please let us know. I love salmon -- any way, any form.

Good for you and good of your neighbor to give it. We have a man we don't even know send home to us fresh trout, he cleans it and it is wonderful eating.

Oh, what a bonanza for you. I should be so lucky. Yummmm!

Wow!!! Talk about sharing!!!!

Very nice neighbor ..

Thanks for all the replies. We shared it with family visiting up here from Southern California. Figure it was about $90 worth of fish (Salmon) after fillets all done.

YUM! I got hooked on salmon in Scotland and Alaska! Enjoy your feast and what a good neighbor :)

You have a wonderful neighbor.

Great neighbor! Enjoy!

YUM. We lived in Alaska and we loved catching fresh salmon and smoking it. Lucky you!!

OMG..I love salmon...enjoy your gift.
