A while back, we were in Sooke, where we caught 14 pink salmon. Weren't you fishing for chinook salmon, you might ask? Well, yes, and we even caught one! Well, one of us did, anyway! Unfortunately it was 4 cm too big and had to be thrown back.

84 cm Chinook!

In any event, that was a story for a previous blog. We jumped into the truck and took our 40 pounds worth of pink salmon to St. Jean's Cannery:

Why is this important, you may ask? Well, we finally received our order, which contained Candied, Smoked and Canned Salmon! Decided to meet my friend at a local brewery to make the swap and have a flight or two of beer!

Elite Brewing

They had a good selection of lagers, IPAs and ciders, but my favourite had to be…drumroll please…

Peanut Butter Milk Stout

The only problem, as I found out later, is that they don't make it, but import it from the Belching Beaver Brewery in California. Still, know another one off the list!
