PRESENTING: "The good stuff" since 2002

WILD ALASKAN
SOCKEYE SALMON

THIS PREMIUM HEALTH FOOD IS: MSC CERTIFIED SALMON FROM A SUSTAINABLE FISHERY.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Chris White, 34-year Alaskan commercial fisherman, has glazed, vacuum-packed, boneless, flash-frozen, ready to cook wild sockeye fillets and sockeye portions at
fisherman to market prices!

Tip: Flash-frozen fish is as excellent as one-day fresh fish—and will last all year!
-------------------------------------------------------
THE WHY AND WHAT:

Wild salmon is my passion because of its taste and health benefits. My intention is to help educate and make this amazing food available to more people at the lowest possible prices. The salmon comes from the only all-refrigerated fleet in Bristol Bay. The boats are captained by fishermen who share the vision of the highest attainable quality.
There are five species of wild salmon that return to Alaska from the deep North Pacific ocean each year. Along with King (Chinook) salmon, Sockeye (Red) are the best tasting salmon with the most omega-3 oil. It is the true Prince.

2010 CO-OP NEWS:
• VITAMIN D: Wild salmon is one of the highest natural sources of vitamin D—perfect for north Idaho in winter—with 360 IU per 3.5 oz.

• FRESH-VS-FROZEN: There is more of an environmental impact in keeping fresh fish cold and flying them around the globe versus flash-freezing fish and moving them by barge, truck or rail.

• FOR THOSE IN A RUSH—or who forget to take the fish out to thaw—check out <cookitfrozen.com> and discover ways to cook salmon straight from the freezer.

• A GRADE: Of the nations eight fishery management councils, the Ocean Conservancy gave the North Pacific council the only A grade for the sustainability and overall health of the Alaskan fish stocks.

• THE MARKET: It was another healthy run of salmon into Bristol Bay this year. Disease has infested major farmed fish sources like Chile and Norway, thus demand for wild salmon has skyrocketed; the bad news is that the cost has taken a jump larger than any I have seen in a long time. I am distressed about the additional $.50 cents that has been added to our cost of the salmon, especially in this economic climate where many are struggling. Although significantly below the cost in retail stores (if you see cheaper salmon it is probably pink, coho or chum) I have to add the cost on to our price or it will be difficult to keep the business going.

• QUALITY: With further improvements in processing and handling on the boats: near 100% bleeding and padded decks to prevent bruising, I am pleased that the quality has gone even another notch upward.

• HALIBUT: Like salmon, it has rocketed in cost. At this time I am not planning to carry halibut unless I can find a reasonable source.
AVAILIABILITY: I plan on carrying enough salmon inventory to have it available into spring, 2011. Winter Ridge also usually carries our salmon for smaller quantities. Call or email me for delivery.

√√-I will send another email soon about exact dates, times, and places for initial sales (early September) in Sandpoint, Bonners Ferry, and the CDA/Spokane area.
