Pilgrim Sandwich
"Yummy sandwich. I see this sandwich in a lot of restaurants in my hometown in Alaska, but I rarely see it in the lower 48. Sandwiches can be cut into 4 squares to serve at parties or brunches."

This was delicious! I added pickles to it and pressed it like a panini. It was a good companion for soup. I think I'll look for a way to reduce the calories though. -
This was really good. I must admit that I did not coat the bread in mayonnaise and used butter instead. I couldn't get past the mayo fried, but it turned out lovely with butter. I also used a press to make them more like paninis. Delish! Thanks Wildeyeris! -
I love this sandwich!! we call these "rachel" sandwiches (as opposed to a reuben) They can also have sourkraut on them like a reuben.

We really enjoyed these. The combination of the tang of Swiss cheese and the sweet of Thousand Island dressing made this a very special sandwich. The ingredients weren't things I usually keep around so I had to make a special effort to make them. I will be making the effort again!

My father is a commercial fisherman in Alaska, so I ate a lot of fish as a child. I took eating fresh seafood for granted, and when I left Alaska for college, I became incredibly homesick for fresh salmon, halibut, shrimp and Dungeness crab.
Now that I am back in Alaska, I still get seafood from my father, but I also go out and catch my own. My husband is a hunter, so I also get a lot of venison.
I am a huge advocate for wild salmon. I am strongly against farmed fish of any sort because farmed fish are laden with diseases, antibiotics, dyes, and cancer causing agents. I am a one woman army in the fight against farmed fish. Any salmon labeled "Organic", "Atlantic", and "Color Added", are all farmed fish. Try to stay away from them and buy Wild.
