Lox from fall coho
« on: October 24, 2008, 08:03:36 PM »
Just wondering if anyone has ever tried making cold smoked salmon, or lox, from coho caught in our local flows.  I have heard that lox is best made from coho, but do you need to use an absolute prime ocean fish, or will a fresh fish from the rivers do?

I have made Lox and Gravlax from Coho, Sockeye and Chinook. Predictably, the Sockeye was the best. I have made it from river Coho, but only from  real Sea Lice chromers; you are pretty much eating the fish raw so I figured I wanted the richest possible flesh I could find? My problem is usually finding people to eat it after they learn that the fish is uncooked :)
