Naw- she

Chinook salmon on the fish rack:

some are left whole to bake - to barbecue - for steaks or fillets; others are cut for drying;

bellies are set aside for chowders or a base for broth;

alder smoke adds flavour.

In Southern Tutchone a fish rack is

lu dakat;

dried fish is lu gun;

smoke is lats'i.
