RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
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.
