Message: [QUOTE="CuseTroop, post: 3194338, member: 47"] I haven't picked up a prime rib since last Christmas, but I feel like a 9 pounder cost me around $60-70? Could be wrong. Picked up a bone in rib eye the other day for $22. Not sure what prices are like compared to the lower 48, I haven't shopped for anything real down there in 8 years. It might not be that store bought meat is unreasonably expensive. I think it's more when you think about feeding a family of 4 or 5 for a year, (assuming you're eating meat every night, because... why wouldn't you) having a few hundred pounds of moose meat in your freezer really brings costs down. Obviously you don't want to eat moose every night (though some families do) so you're still hitting the store a little. Fish - We fish the Klutina river for sockeye and king salmon. "Copper River Reds". Sonnary and her mom hit the Chitna River for a dip netting charter each summer. It normally conflicts with work but I'm planning to get on that trip this summer. Hopefully catch some halibut this summer down in Valdez. Sonnary got skunked on a trip last summer, which was a bummer because halibut is amazing. I befriended a new guy at the bar the last few months. He just recently told me he has a huge fishing boat down in Valdez. He goes down every weekend in the summer and said he'd take me and anyone I have out for just the price of gas ($300-400). I'm sure I'll throw in some whiskey as well. Don't know the fish prices off the top of my head. More expensive than you'd think, since ya know.. it's caught here. I believe most fish is shipped down to Seattle, packaged and shipped back up, but that could be an urban legend. Get up here. You've got a free bedroom in my basement, a vehicle to drive, and I'll point you in the direction of some awesome fishing.
