What do you eat salmon with?

You go to the store and buy canned salmon. Do not get pink, you need Red Sockeye. Mix all ingredients together with your hands and form into patties. (egg, chopped onion and chopped bell peppers with the salmon). Cook in a lightly greased skillet until browned on both sides. Actually they are not burgers but correctly called salmon patties.

How old is a salmon before they spawn?

It can be a few days to several weeks, depending on many factors...the health and stamina of the fish, the conditions of the river, how fast the water is flowing, and how far up river the fish needs to go to return to the point or near the point where it hatched. The salmon must reach a point far enough up the river where salt water can't reach the eggs. Some salmon, for example the humpback or pink salmon that spawn in the Indian River in Sitka, AK, the trip can take just a few days. For others, for example, the Chinook, or King salmon that travel up the Feather River in Oroville, CA from the San Francisco Bay, it can take weeks.

What country is the second largest producer of salmon?

Typically, salmon are anadromous: they are born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce. However, populations of several species are restricted to fresh water through their lives. Folklore has it that the fish return to the exact spot where they were born to spawn; tracking studies have shown this to be true, and this homing behavior has been shown to depend on olfactory memory

How far do salmon travel in one day?

Salmon can travel varying distances depending on their life stage, species, and environmental conditions. During their migration, adult salmon may cover between 10 to 30 miles (16 to 48 kilometers) in a day as they move upstream to spawn. However, in some cases, they can travel even farther, particularly when they are motivated by strong currents or obstacles. The distance can also vary based on factors like water temperature and food availability.

Is canned fish like salmon or sardines cooked?

Yes. Most are steamed; some are fried or hot-smoked.

(from http://www.epicurious.com/gourmet/good_living/sardines and http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A54441-2004May25.html)

Sardine is more of a generic term that is applied to any soft-boned, small fish with a fatty flesh. Herrings, sprat, and young pilchards are some of the names of the fish that are called sardines. They are iridescent, silvery, and swim in huge schools near the surface. They can be salted, smoked, or canned in oil, tomato sauce, or mustard sauce. Some are packed into cans as is; others are skinned, boned, or sold as fillets. They are best grilled, broiled, or fried. The name probably comes from young pilchards caught off the coast of Sardinia, which were one of the first fish packed in oil. I looked in my "Joy of Cooking" (published in 1964) for their suggestions about sardines. They say, "Pacific sardines are almost twice as large as the Atlantic kind, and both are bigger than the type of pilchards originally caught off Sardinia. Anchovies are even smaller sardines. When smoked, sardines are referred to as sprats. Treat fresh sardines as for Smelts." Then they offer a recipe, as follows: "If you want to present canned sardines in an interesting way, skin and bone, 12 canned sardines. Mash 6 of them with: * 1 (teaspoon) tsp minced onion * 2 tsps butter * 1/2 tsp prepared mustard * 1 tsp lemon juice * Spread 6 narrow toasts with this mixture. Place a whole sardine on each toast and run under the broiler. Before serving garnish with: * Finely chopped fennel * A grating of black pepper" My former husband loved canned sardines, and would open a can, plop a fat sardine on a saltine cracker, and eat the whole can that way! I always left the room to avoid the stench! I have eaten the bones from sardines (love the hot mustard flavor), however I always pick the round bones out of canned salmon before cooking it. The person that sent the above paragraph have their answer but my answer is a bit different. The canning process heat treats the food. With canned salmon and sardines the bones have been greatly softened and can be safely eaten. The high heat sterilization process softens them to the point where they can be easily mashed and blended into salmon salads, casseroles, and other delicious meals. There is no waste in canned salmon -- the liquid, skin, and bones are all edible and supply important nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus. As a kid, I loved picking them out and eating them as my mother opened the cans. In our home the bones and skin are always left in. The oily skin is high in Omega 3.

Are salmon renewable?

Wild salmon stocks are managed for sustainability. Each salmon is hatched in a creek upriver. The salmon smolt (baby salmon) stay upriver for a year until they are strong enough to swim downstream to the ocean. They live in the ocean for several years getting big and strong, then they swim back upriver to the exact place they were born to lay their eggs (spawn) or fertilize the females eggs. These eggs later hatch and the cycle repeats. This process or cycle continues indefinitely supported by strong management practices through Fish and Game to ensure that man (commercial fishermen, sport fishermen, subsistence harvesters) does not take more salmon than is needed to ensure a healthy run return. Farmed salmon are not sustainable. They are raised then eaten. End of story.

What is a Young male salmon?

When a salmon egg hatches, the young is called an "alevin" . At this time it still depends on the yolk sac for nutrition.
