Fish was one of our main foods, and we still never tire of it. Different seasons provide different kinds of seafood, but many people think that the best fish overall is Spring Salmon. Many people also used to fix trout nets.
In traditional times there was very much more fish running in the river, and it could be preserved by smoking, salting, and drying. It was common for people in the community to help each other out when were preserving fish.
