Glad to see the pinks being appreciated! I've always loved a good pink season, it's a great way to get people interested in fishing and try out new recipes without having to worry about ruining a really hard to catch fish.

Pink Salmon are delicious.   I honestly don't detect much taste difference between Pinks and Coho.  I have vacuum sealed pink salmon fillets for six months and they tasted fresh on the barbeque.  I honestly believe that the disdain for pink salmon is social brainwashing.  All the more for me!

So true, I love Pink Salmon for the barbecue as they are more oily and never get too dry.
I use a sprinkle of brown sugar, sprinkle of ground up sea-salt, with soy sauce on top and it is delicious. I learned that from a commercial Troller. The trick to recognizing when it is done is when you can see small pools of oil appearing on the meat!

Just came back, if you missed it don't kick yourself you didn't miss much.

The fish was frozen and as we all know frozen Pink doesn't taste like anything special.

The first plate I tried had some sweet goopy syrup on it couldn't taste anything but sugar, the second was a bun filled with fish and some Mayo dressing, the third dish was a kind of Gravlax that tasted best of all but when I went to throw my empty plate away I noticed it was the one people ate the least of-well that's people for ya.

The booths were the usual suspects-I got a kick out of the person manning the Ocean Wise booth-like many people with a scientific background she thought she had all the answers, she had no idea that manning the booth meant not only lecturing people but that she should be listening to them as well. ::)

I did buy some lottery tickets-something I rarely do-just to support the cause.
