Ah! Many thanks to Paul and Helen (Kate) for bringing us these beautiful kokanee! Awesome and just look how they prep out? A nice brine with tarragon, basil and English thyme.

And then after smoking at 225 degrees F for 4 hours over hickory with some alder added in ….. fit for a King!

But wait, can’t have these delicious morsels without some fresh bread and Strawberry/Rhubarb Jam! Such a treat!!

A dinner such as this makes one dream of rich, blue skies with whipped cream clouds and a sprig of mint or basil.

So there you have an awesome meal! So much fun to do. So many thanks to friends Kate and Paul! Cheers!
