I stopped by the Stave on my travels this past Sunday, and was left shaking my head at the bottom bouncers and snaggers, and most of all, the fish that they were keeping, Some had rot marks on them, Kabonk! What do people do with these things? Yikes! I mean if I was in survival mode stuck in the wilderness and had to eat it to survive only if I could cook the living snot out of it maybe...even then...blah!!!!!

They were not using them for bait for sturgeon, and there where no eggs in them...so then what...hmmmm.

Smoke it or make a rotting fish stew...mmmmm, I would rather go to the grocery store and buy a frozen pink for next to nothing. Would cost much less then the trip to the river, and might taste a tiny bit better.

i was also there sunday and witness the same thing. people fishing that pool below the lower fishing boundary with that horrible smell snagging gross spawned out chum that i wound not want to touch let alone eat. me and my girl managed to get some chromers still on the chartruse jig . she even got her first salmon. a big male on a 7 foot light spinning reel. all catch and release. was a great day.

I asked a Vietnamese guy what he did with fish like that and he replied that they make fish cakes and that the condition of the fish didn't matter as it was mashed into a paste before using as an ingredient.  Seeing as asian cooking is usually pretty tasty, I'll reserve judgement.

   Did I suggest you would by virtue of being asian?  Obviously not.  Reread my post.

I'm pretty sure you can order them up at some restaurants.

Years ago this older native guy was netting chums at the mouth of the Harrison After watching him work the nets taking in some pretty nasty looking dogs I took my boat over to him.

me "what are you going to to do with skanky chums"

him "keep them "

me "dog sled team?"

him "no smoke them to eat"

me "you could net some other nice fish over the last while. why not them?"

Him "fat content just right for smoking and they keep longer."

Who cares what anyone else wants to whack over the head as long as its legal. MYOB and go fishing!

Would you eat a dog? A scorpion? A termite?
Probably not, yet in some parts of the world, they are sought after delicacies.

What makes a steak tender?
Decomposition.

Likewise, spawned out fish is already tenderized.
Just add your favourite sauces/spices to mask the fishy stink and voila - protein-rich cuisine extraordinaire with no hard work.

A couple years back seen a guy keeping chums which looked a couple weeks past their prime and he said he feeds them to his dogs....I bet he has mean dogs
