I’m back with the King Chinook salmon I caught with @bigwaterguy, and in this episode I cooked it up three different ways.
I started with an Italian-style carpaccio topped with edible flowers straight from my wife’s garden. From there, I made some nigiri with a torch finish. I closed it out on the grill with a cedar plank version for anybody who prefers cooked salmon over raw.
You can taste the difference with fresh-caught salmon, and cooking something I caught myself makes it taste even better.

It's making me hungry because they look good. Mastered by Leonard Williams himself
I just had breakfast, but this is making me hungry!
I love Big Cat's cooking show! Where did he learn all this?
the way you can't stop talking about your wife, like a Lion just so proud of his Lioness
This is why I miss the PACNW. Fresh salmon.
So true, farmed salmon is just weird and mushy, I won't eat it. Wild caught PNW / Alaska all the way!
Awesome video!! Love to see what your life is like outside of football, and relates to the 12s to what we call home
That carpaccio is literally art
I never trim off the fat along skin. Call me weird but I enjoy it. But then, I don't eat it raw
Great video Mr.Big Cat
Keep it up with the YouTube stuff bro this is cool, especially more fishing content!
Next time when you catch a salmon, take a whole fish, starting at the tail, hit it with a spray nozzle, working towards the head. The scale just wash off. Fish must be fresh caught
Carpaccio! Love your channel…
I admire your football playing, but I really admire what a well-rounded life you have. Your little boy and wife's garden are beautiful! BTW, I've seen lots of cooking shows with salmon, and none of them ever showed how to clean a salmon filet. Thank you for teaching me something new.
I like smoked salmon
Knife looks like it's for Seppuku not just sushi :). Got a link? Looks awesome.
Jesz man your making that huge fish look small.i truly feel blessed to have you on my team.gooo hawks
Although they all look delicious, nigiri is my fav!!!
Are you going to do any pack openings? I know you’re big into tcg.
Sup Big Cat from Tacoma. Former D3 DT/NT and you already had my respect as a player and leader, you just entered even higher as a man and father. We are so glad to have you and your family in our local community. Welcome brother, and best wishes to you guys.
I’m going out next week for Kings!
fished neah bay as a kid. great rock cod and sea bass. maybe not so much anymore
pure awesomeness!!
The carpaccio looks great and the backsplash behind the range is sick
Love this. Keep putting out videos man.
I know exactly what imma do with that fresh salmon in my fridge.
Wow! You are a beast on the gridiron and a beast in the kitchen. 😂
Yummy
hmm i sure miss living in the PNW for the fishing.. iowa isnt bad. Im right next to the MIssissippi River… so maybe i figure something with catfish
Great video. You are an amazing chef. Food you harvested yourself always tastes better. You should visit Montana and go on a fishing and hunting trip. Nothing better than elk tenderloin fresh trout. You are a good man Mr Williams
All 3
What a cool dude. So awesome to see you adapt to PNW way of life. 💙💚💙

Biiiggg Caaatt!!!! Appreciate everything you do! You should do a ribeye cooking video or some burger cooking! Maybe even do a housetour! That view is amazing
