Sockeye Salmon Thursday, July 22, 2010
10:00 a.m./$6.50/lb
There are around 150 fish to sell so tell your friends! |
Greetings!
Visit Matt's Blog | I will be shipping down a batch of FRESH SOCKEYE salmon from Bristol Bay. I will catch these fish and take care of them like little babies so you can have the best possible fish-eating experience possible. The price is $6.50 per pound.
This is possible because I am working with a guy who self-processes and direct-markets 100% of his Bristol Bay salmon catch (that's no small feat), and he will process my fish and have them on a flight to Seattle in short order. From there I work with a cold-freight mover to bring them to Marine View Cold Storage in Burlington, who will repack them in totes with LOTS of ice, then Heuristic Enterprises will bring them back to Friday Harbor for you to come and buy from Compost It!
I know it is a lot of effort to get them down here, but since we have not had a sockeye fishery for THREE YEARS here in the San Juan Islands, I figured I would assure our fish-eating pubic an opportunity to sink their teeth into a FRESH sockeye by shipping them from the abundant harvest of Bristol Bay.
If you want to do something to help bring our local sockeye back to
the San Juan Islands, please become involved in the fight against
farmed salmon in B.C. There are numerous fish farms located on the
out-migration routes of the salmon smolt, which fall victim to out-of-
control (controlled by nasty chemicals) sea lice, which latch onto the
tiny smolt and suck them dry like a vampire. There's no wild fish
left in Norway; we have to do something to keep Canada from having the
same fate. |
