We decided to try smoking some salmon this year as well. I had tried to do it myself one other year and it didn't turn out well, so I kind of gave up and left it to my mom who makes great smoked salmon. But this year I decided to try it again for several reasons. One being that all our kids really enjoy the smoked fish, and the other being that it brings back lots of memories for Ann Marie of her birth mother smoking fish in a smoke house. Ann Marie said her mother would get up early to either buy or catch fish at the wharf then bring it back to the house to clean it and smoke it for her family. We really enjoy hearing Ann Marie's stories of her life in Sierra Leone and how some of the things we do here can be so similar.
