I did not expect to get a monster salmon, over 1 meter long. I paid 130,000KRW, which is equivalent to $91.
Took me 2 hours to fillet, trim, skin and vacuum sealing.
All of them are wrapped with special aging paper, that absorbs moisture and stored in Kimchi fridge (am Korean.)
Kimchi Fridge is not opened very often and temp is around 2-3 degrees Celsius, where is optimal environment to keep it fresh.
While i was prep. it, i swore to god i would never buy it again. However, it turnes out that fatness and freshness are extremely good compared to a salmon i get from other places.

Wow looks amazing!
I make salmon jerky a lot and every now and then I see a whole salmon for a really good price and buy it instead of a fillet… I regret it every single time. Fuck them pin bones.
I’ll fucks witcha
Out of curiosity, how much did that cost
I’m interested in the kimchi fridge.
How to turn salmon into sashimi in 2 easy steps!!!
How much of the fish is on the plate? 20%?
**OP that is a Trout, specifically a steelhead.**
Salmon have a much larger elongated jawline, larger teeth.
They also usually have darker gums or tongues while the Steelhead trout will have mostly white mouths.
With that being said that’s a nice looking fish **but dang, $91 is a lot, I pull these fish out of the lake where I live a couple times a month.**
Also if anyone is curious **salmon and trout are incredibly easy to filet.**
Watch a few YouTube videos, you can cut out 90% of the bones by just running a knife between the inside ribs and the meat.
Then you just cut the meat from the bone upwards until you pass the spine, cut down from the top and then you can run the knife along the spine and just slice the entire side off all the way down to the tail.
**Its takes no more than ~15 minutes to prep a fish like that.**
Some dudes don’t even remove the guts they are able to slice the meat clean off without puncturing them.
Takes a little practice but it’s not hard at all.
Edit; Looks roughly ~13 pounds right?
good skills!
this will last a while.
got some hwayo 25?
It looks so pretty
How did you cook the salmon on your plate?
Looks great!
