Nisga'a Breakfast

Ingredients

• Hash
• 1 - Salted wild Sockeye (in serving size filets)
• 5 lbs peeled potatoes
• 1/2 cup Oolichan grease
• 4 dozen eggs
• 2 ltrs Refried beans

Best done very early in the morning, in order to be ready for the next day. Soak the salted fillets of sockeye in fresh cold water, change the water every 2 hours for approximately 8 hours, (this process removes most of the salt before consuming).

Following the last soak, boil the sockeye in fresh water for 20 minutes. Once the sockeye is cooked, flake and remove excess bones and skin.

Boil potatoes in a large pot and prepare for mashed potatoes. combine flaked Sockeye and Potatoes and Oolichan grease to complete the hash.

Serve like hashbrowns, with 2-3 eggs, and refried beans.
