The Meaning of Salmon

We had fresh steelhead last night. I barbecued them with salt and pepper. Everyone was very happy. Even Aunt Carol who had just stabbed herself with a pitchfork in the sweatlodge. Even the teenage German exchange students were impressed. I had a hard time moving all the dogs away from the barbecue. Salmon is our hamburger and our filet mignon. I suppose it depends on how many days in a row you have had a salmon dinner. But the crab louie was great too, made with crab pulled from the bay yesterday. It is good to be a bay indian, or at least to live like one.
