Fishing For Sockeye Salmon | The Alaskan Grocery Store 

What I love most about this channel is the authenticity -- just normal people acting normally. Well, that and the excellent content.

Just love the grin on Eric's face as he's dragging another fish up on the bank . 😁

Every time you walloped that fish I went "ow. . .OW. . . OW!!! 😂

Love the videos. When my Grandpa used to be able to fish in Oregon he would smoke and can salmon, in addition to us eating it fresh. Using his canned salmon for "tuna" fish sandwiches were the best thing when I was a kid.

Love how the Eagles and Seagulls wait to clean up the scraps like waiters or bus boys lol!

Alaska is such a contradiction -- it is so raw, yet so civilized. It is so isolated, yet so busy.

The synopsis of this video: Arielle saying: “Oh what a beautiful fish!” WHACK, WHACK, WHACK!!! And then that BIG excited smile! #priceless #loveit

Being able to eat good you worked for has to be a very rewarding feeling. Not to mention knowing where you food had been every step of the way.

Try grilling the salmon collars over a wood fire, skin side down for 2-3 minutes, then turn and cook maybe 1-2 minutes more. The little bit of smoky flavor compliments the fish oils.

Here in the UK we mix the scrapings with potatoes and make fish cakes with various coatings such as breadcrumbs done in the pan to make the outer coating crispy

I just turned 75. I really wish I would have tried this lifestyle about forty years ago ( not that I didn’t like my current lifestyle). It looks so satisfying. I love to cook, garden, raise animals for eating and I’ve done a lot of that but this just looks so satisfying. Little to old to start over. You two do such a wonderful job and use good use of your time and talents. I’m so blessed to have found your channel.

Amazing how you both adapted so quickly to local customs. You appear as though you always lived in Alaska. Each video gives a curious Bluenoser another look at the wildlife,fish species and the spectacular scenery that you expertly film. Bravo !

Here in the Philippines, we cook our salmon heads sliced into 2, lengthwise, with miso (fermented soybean) paste and mustard greens...making a hot sour soup...great for cold weather days...

Me: trying to go to sleep SLA: posted an hour ago Me: well looks like ima watch this first 😂

Arielle, you should sharpen the edges of the ice cream scoop very sharp and it will make scraping the salmon much easier. I love that you and Eric do all the outdoorsy stuff together, hunting moose, fishing, winter camping, snowmobiling, collecting birch sap, etc. You are awesome!

I’d be there all day…..love to fish. Wow, the amount of Omega 3, 6, or 9 in these salmon is so enriched with it. Nothing better than fresh sockeye on the grill. Sushi, yum! Those chickens must lay the most healthy eggs ever. Lucky hens.

Tie your stringer of fish around your thump stick . That way the stringer doesn't cut into your hand .

Omg. Fish carcasses especially those with the heads make the most amazing fish stock. Add celery , carrots , onions , garlic cloves and assorted seasoning like salt , pepper. Strain, then freeze or bottle. The stock will be amazing to use for all sorts of fish and seafood chowders. It’s also amazing to use for poaching fish as well. The remaining bits I’m sure can be fed to the chickens afterwards.

What America was built on! happy to see people living free!

I've always wanted to move to Alaska and live off the grid but due to my health that has stopped me from living that life so the next best thing is to live vicariously through channels like this. Keep up the good work because I'm for sure enjoying this entertainment.

I'm Canadian From BC I've been watching for years now since yall moved to Alaska. Your channel influenced me to move up north close to Juneau Alaska on the Canadian side. So far it's the best thing I ever done! So keep making awesome content and inspiring people to live a sustainable lifestyle while actually living life. Cheers 🍻

I love how much Eric enjoys his food! You guys eat like kings 🙌

What a great community. Wish the whole country was like this

Yeah,grilled collar and cheeks,because I am Asian(Filipino)we cook the head(adobo style)garlic,vinegar,red onions,bay leaves,salt and black pepper.I am not grabbing it from the pet's but anything fresh fish,I can have every meal.Thank you guys,Watching your channel is a total theraphy for me,harvesting your food from the backyard,nothing gets any better than that.

What a cool way to go “grocery shopping”

Had some King Salmon the other day--yummy. I would eat dinner at your house any day. It always looks so good!!

You guys are the most real and happiest couple on all of social media I feel.

Dankeschön für den Beitrag und Video ARIELLE & ERIC , THANK you für den Film, bay bay ERIC und ARILLE , viel Gesundheit .

Salmon heads cooked with sour broth with some veggies. Eggs for pasta. Salmon meats with olive oil , red wine and some onions, leeks and rosemary. Smoked salmon in groceries will cost around 2k Php. I am drooling. Yummy.. thanks for the video.👍👌

Put a damp hand towel under cutting board. Keeps the cutting board in place.

I love to see the smiles on your fur babies faces when they are going fishing,, or any place you take them.. Thanks for making my day.. Love the beautiful sits you share.

I love when you guys cook. Everything you guys make looks delicious!

Did anyone else's mouth water when they saw those beautiful fish? I couldn't help but think of what you could make with that! 😍

You two are undoubtedly the best ambassadors of Alaska, in all its goodness.

Love the sound of the hens chatting.

so glad I found ur channel,I grew up with my grand parents in the 60’s on a farm in NC.everything was homemade,our own hogs,chickens and a garden every year.no electric heat,AC and for a while no running water.granddaddy taught me how to hunt and the old way of life.my brother and I own half of the farm now,we have deer,turkeys and a variety of small game.I plan on retiring next year after 10 yrs of DOD contracting.my wife and I plan to split our time between our home in TX and the farm in NC.God bless y’all for sharing ur lives and the beauty of the last frontier.enjoy,as always be safe🙏

I just love ❤️ your channel. Have learned so much from you two-from gardening to fishing to cooking. I’m extremely impressed with the way you care for your animals-especially your dogs-they’re so well mannered and love you both immensely. Thank you so much for showing your Alaskan journey. Stay blessed!!!

Not in a great head space right now, was very happy to see this uploaded to get me out of my head for a little bit. Thank you guys, now to watch the video.

In 1979 and later years we would drive to the mouth of the Resurrection River - where I think you were at - and we would discuss the possibilities. There was never any activity there that we could see - and the charter boat Captain - that was my Mom's boyfriend - told us that if we didn't know the high water mark or maybe didn't have the right sized treble hooks - then the whole thing was off - and we drove back discouraged. I never had any decent fishing waders anyway. I was always soaking when we we fished everywhere. Later my high school instructor gave me a giant bag of old halibut fishing hooks or some darn thing. Just a regular hooks though. And I drilled wholes in the tear drop sinker molds and made my own treble hooks - giant - and I mean - giant snagging hooks - but I left Alaska and sold the molds, lead, and hooks, and some that were already made to someone who supplied the Indians around here somewhere. Love the video - nice to know there is really a sustainable sockeye run in the Russian River - I knew the Trail Lakes were in the system - but didn't know if there was a big sockeye run or not - imagine all the way back then in 1979. The trail lakes is where I would often stop and bait fish with dolly varden belly meat and catch decent sized Lake Trout. I love the taste of Lake Trout - but I've only had it less then maybe 4 times in my whole life. So anyway - on another "Fixing, cleaning, organizing, and modifying day" you could make some of those hooks for snagging yourself? Just an idea - and you would have something you could share with other people like they shared with you. : )

dying with the sushi rice shaping scene

When you are filleting most fish, I was taught to leave the first side you fillet attached - ie cut the flesh on the first side you fillet as normal but only cut from the top and leave the bottom attached with the skin so you can use the fillet to prop up the fish for filleting the second side. It makes filleting the second side easier and all you have to do is cut along the skin to remove the first fillet after you completely remove the second fillet. It can sometimes be awkward removing the second fillet after the first fillet is removed.

The latest No 1 Hit ... "The Wasabi is in my nose" hahahahaha lol ... great fishing guys ... having lots of fun ... be safe always ... don't lose your sense of awareness while out there having all that fun ,,,

Sockeye salmon with green onions, pepper and salt on top and with F☺️fresh squeezed lemon is my favorite 👌🏽✨

Beauties! 👏🏻🎣🎣🎣 NOW I’m hungry for some fish! Looks like Fish and Chips ON the dinner menu tonight!!!👊🏻🤣

Lmao you can see how excited Eric was when he was making the sushi. It looks so good! I recommend making a bowl of sushi rice, with the cured salmon eggs on top, with a bit of soy sauce and scallions. Another way would be a fresh cracked egg on top of the rice with soy sauce. If you have left over seaweed paper, shred it on top. Very yummy 😋

Well done! All the hard work is paying off, you two are living the GOOD life. You should be proud of yourselves. And thank you for taking us along on the adventure.

Nothing quite like the exhaust burble of a V8, getting up early in the morning, and going fishing. Score!

..for the finish line..rescue efforts.. SPOOONS ..😊

Yesssssss!!!!! The best notifications are from yall 🤩

Some suggestions: Use some carcasses for fish broth, can make great soups when your veggies come along, can add fish eggs to it, delicious! Can try baked salmon, just gut it, take gills out, season to your liking and bake it in the oven, can make it "en papillion", wrapped in baking paper, keeps the flavor of the fish. Also, "sushi" rolls using any fresh leaves available from the garden. Envy you:)))

That ice cream scooper be gettin' a serious workout today. hahaha.

Love your lifestyle...fresh catch fish, fresh vegetables from your garden, fresh eggs , and no more sitting while eating...very simple life and lovely dogs...salute.

Ariels luck did change That looks like fun!

Timing is everything I was there 2019 and struck out , Love it

Is it just me or does anyone think some chickens are getting ready to eat soooo well!! That rich color of the meat looks fantastic. Great job guys!!!

Just found your channel and love it!! The life you guys are living is something not many can achieve. Congrats on your successes, and future sucess!

Appropriate time to watch this video: yesterday the herring-season started in the Netherlands - as you may (not) know, we eat our herring more or less raw, with some onions or pickles, a white bun.

I love your channel. It has so much ‘realness’ and you are both down to earth. You are the real deal!

Love an garden grader.enjoy time you spent to educate me on life in the upper state. Thank you both for educating me on your life/battle s

Those two meals of the FRESHEST salmon patties, stir fry and then the salmon sushi with the Ikura has me craving this big time! You guys are so lucky for this to be accessible to you. Great job!!!!

The collar are delicious when smoked.

Spectacular scenery and the eagles were incredible.

Wow. Awesome fishing trip. The dream.....

Beautiful veggies! That salmon is making my mouth water!!

Absolutely love salmon patties. My kids like them with a egg and some shredded bread (kinda like a meatloaf). This makes me want to move to Alaska so bad!!

Piscatorial support pups! They look ready for the adventure. I so envy you folks (again) for access to fresh salmon. I also applaud your no-waste methods of processing. Thank you both for this video.

That is some GORGEOUS salmon!!

My five year old son watched with me for the first time. He really enjoyed seeing you guys catch the salmon. He was even more smitten with Arielle 😆 He was like….”oh my gosh, she’s so beautiful , I want a wife like her”! 🤷🏽‍♀️😆

This time next week I will be on the Kenai Peninsula, hopefully landing sockeyes, too! Thanks so much for all the inspiring videos and sharing so much of your journey, you two have really gotten me motivated to do some gardening, and now this fishing trip! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in to your channel here on You Tube, and sharing it with all of us!

Loved watching you fish! Such beautiful scenery! Fish is incredible . Love watching you two together. Such a great couple!

Well done you two! I found this channel today and I look forward to tuning in later. Salmon season is a special time of year for sure!

"Not everyone's a professional sushi eater" :)

TRUE "combat fishing" is when you're ONLY one arm's length away, and casting out into the river in concert. Everyone gets into the rhythm, or they don't (and get their lines cut). LOL Try bleeding them as soon as catching (cutting the gills). Also, roast the heads and pick out all the meat. The cheeks are delicious, and a lot of good/tender meat on the heads. Love the scoop method for getting all that good meat for burgers! And the sushi looks too good!

We need more great video's from you guys, I wait patiently between footage. Eric you are great with that knife. Thank you for taking the time to enrich our lives.

🇹🇳🇹🇳 My mum watched your vid with me today till she fell asleep, she doesn't understand a word hhh she enjoyed as much as I did, we love nature and animals, and we want to try salmon so bad, unfortunately we don't have it in my city + too expensive, you guys are lucky, she asked me if yall get fed up eating it or it always good and exciting to have it??? +thank u, cause ur channel is very respectful like i can watch it with my parents without worrying that am gonna see someone naked or half naked or smth like that

Sushi tip: you wanna dip the fish side of the piece in the soy sauce, not the rice. And you can put a little bit of wasabi on the fish before laying down on rice. And wrap the seaweed strip around the fish and rice! Like a little belt :)

I was just there!! Good fishing!!

I really enjoy watching your videos .. they pull out any negative energy in me 😂😂😂.. Thanks a lot. 👏👏👏😍😍😍

I Love the sound of bird and rooster in the morning keep fishing sir.. Love from Philippines

Oh man, the color of that salmon flesh. Beautiful. Thanks as always for the fantastic videos :D

The salmon in Alaska are a deeper reddish orange, compared with our salmon 🍣 in Scotland, I can’t wait to come to Alaska to do some salmon fishing.

All those fresh air and nature. Wow, Paradise life do come true. Thanks

As always very enjoyable video. You always give so much information and you never are afraid to share your knowledge. Thank you.

We've been getting limits the last two weeks. I've been smoking fish for two days. It is delicious 😋. Glad you guys got your limits. Sounds like a long hard day. Next time you are down let us know. We have a travel trailer you guys and the pups could stay in, and process your fish.

When I was a kid I LOVED the salmon cheeks. You get some awesome fatty meat out of them! EDIT: I very much still love them 😂

thanks guys relay enjoyed ur fishing and the scenery , love u guys

I am very jealous! Thanks for posting guys!

Less than a minute uploaded and already 23 likes....w 4 views...Stellar. Your videos are awesome

Eric is an absolute expert with his knife. Carves to perfection.

Such fresh fish for food...WOW

Ugh, I miss those beautiful grey skies! Lived in Eagle River and miss it constantly

Love watching your videos!!

Small safety recommendation, freeze any meat you intend to eat raw at -4F for 7 days or -31F for 15 hours. This kills parasites in the flesh.

It only looks like you both are catching fish alone lol. Your a fish magnet.

I loved to watch your channel, exploring around Alaska and fishing as well is my favorite..hopefully i can visit soon there fishing..

I haven't watched the video yet, but I know that I will love it! I was watching a couple of your fishing videos of the past, from the last two years, today and I couldn't wait for another one!

These are my favorite videos you guys make. Catch, harvest, cook... the whole process. And you utilize the whole fish. I respect that. It's lost in this throw away culture. I do alot of the same stuff, but very different varieties of fish, animals, plants, etc. Here in Iowa. Don't comment much, but keep up the killer channel you two!

There you two go doing it again! Antagonizing me with all the fishing your doing. :)

Love yaw and puppies and birdies too

Hi. would love to see the trail pics from the cabin. Cheers
