Buoy 10 Salmon Fishing with From Field to Plate

Imagine the thrill of being out on the water at Buoy 10, the Pacific Northwest's premier spot for salmon fishing, rod in hand, surrounded by nature's beauty. That's exactly what From Field to Plate experienced when he set out to catch fresh salmon, documenting every step from the boat to the dinner table. With Avid Armor’s A100 GEN 2 vacuum sealer in tow, he not only preserved the day’s catch but transformed it into a mouthwatering fish taco feast.

The Adventure Begins: Buoy 10 Salmon Fishing

The journey starts early, as the boat glides across the water, heading for Buoy 10—a legendary fishing spot where the salmon run is nothing short of spectacular. The energy in the air is palpable, with anglers casting their lines, waiting for the telltale pull that signals a bite. This isn’t just about fishing; it’s about connecting with nature and appreciating the process of catching your own food.

For the crew, the day was a success. As the sun rose higher in the sky, their patience paid off with fresh, gleaming salmon pulled from the water. The satisfaction of reeling in a fish you’ll later prepare is one that can’t be matched—knowing where your food comes from and that you were part of the process from the very start.

Cleaning and Preparing the Catch

The next step was butchering the fish—a true field-to-plate experience. Fresh salmon requires careful attention, and with the right tools and knowledge, the fish was expertly cleaned and portioned, ensuring nothing went to waste. This hands-on approach to food is as rewarding as the fishing itself, allowing you to be intimately involved in every part of the meal preparation.

The beauty of processing your own meat supply is that you get to decide exactly how to portion and preserve it. For From Field to Plate, vacuum sealing was the next step—and that’s where the Avid Armor A100 GEN 2 vacuum sealer came into play.

Preserving the Freshness with Avid Armor A100 GEN 2

When it comes to keeping fish fresh, there's no better method than vacuum sealing. After portioning the salmon into perfect fillets, the A100 GEN 2 stepped in to preserve that freshness. With its powerful dual-piston pump and extended sealing capacity, the A100 GEN 2 handled each fillet with precision, removing air and locking in the natural oils and moisture that make salmon so delicious.

Vacuum sealing not only extends the shelf life of fish, but it also prevents freezer burn, keeping each fillet in peak condition for future meals. Whether you’re storing it for a few days or a few months, the Avid Armor vacuum sealer ensures that the hard-earned catch stays as fresh as the moment it was pulled from the water.

From Field to Plate: Making Fish Tacos

After sealing up some of the salmon for later, it was time to celebrate with a fresh meal. And what better way to enjoy freshly caught salmon than by making fish tacos?

With the vacuum-sealed salmon fillets ready to go, From Field to Plate seasoned the fish to perfection, and paired it with all the essentials: fresh tortillas, tangy slaw, and a drizzle of zesty lime.
