Question about curing skein for salmon

Plain old borax and strawberry jello works fantastic for me. I will always use fresh/uncured when availible.

 

Hell, for kings I'd roll it in some borax and use it.

 

Those are junk. Throw them in the trash. I'll save you the effort of throwing away. I'll pick them up, where are you located ?

 

I've gotten worse looking eggs fresh out of the fish at the cleaning station.

 

I've harvested worse looking eggs from dead hens, that were lying on the bottom of rivers. They worked. Cut that into golfball sized chunks, put a quart of 20 Muleteam Boraz (Laundry soap - you can usually find it at Walmart) into a gallon Ziploc, add the chunks, and shake until the are entirely coated. Then put 6-8 chunks in a qt Ziploc, add a bit more soap, squeeze the air out, and put em in the fridge, or freezer. Or use them within a week. They will continue to get darker over time.

If you catch a hen that is full of eggs, do the same thing with the fresh spawn, before you freeze it.

 

I did the borax and jello brew and a year later they still look surprisingly good.

 

I just pulled stuff out from last year, little gooey but perfect, doesn't freeze all the way with the cure.
