A Get-a-Life Activity
When we drove back from MSP to our home last Wednesday, we stopped at Moreys Fish Market in Motley, MN. We purchased some catfish (which became fish tacos – recipe below), some smoked trout, and two pounds of sockeye salmon.
I bought the salmon so I could try a new Salmon Lox recipe I’d recently seen on Sylvia Fontaine’s Feasting at Home blog. Sylvia’s description of the recipe and its execution is beautiful and I encourage you to read it. In my case, the recipe was straightforward and yielded wonderful results. Here are some pictures of the slicing and storage process. In the end, the two pounds of salmon yielded slightly more than 27 ounces of lox at a cost of about $1.40 per ounce, less than the $2 per ounce charged by Moreys. I can’t wait to experience the lox on bagels and in salads in the weeks to come.
Who knows, maybe this item will appear on the menu for our guests in the future….
