I will eat the whites all day long. Red, marbled, white... I don't care. I like them all. I have this one friend, when she comes to visit, I always send her home with some fish. She always asks if I have any white chinook, she MUCH prefers it. When I get one, I always vacuum seal a few packs for her and put them aside, she consumes it very quickly.
I've caught the big Harrison ones in September around Victoria and I don't notice all the hullaballoo that everyone is on about them stinking and tasting ******. I grew up in a house of Scottish cooking, which was bland and awful. Perhaps my palate is not as refined as others who grew up with a finer class of cuisine. lol
