During 2000, commercial catches of Pacific salmon in Alaska exceeded 320,000 tonnes, with an ex-vessel value of over $US 260 million.Ĭatches have not always been so healthy. Indeed, if Alaska was an independent nation, it would be die largest producer of wild salmon in the world. ‘Salmon,’ notes writer Susan Ewing in The Great Alaska Nature Factbook, ‘pump through Alaska like blood through a heart, bringing rhythmic, circulating nourishment to land, animals and people.’ The ‘predictable abundance of salmon allowed some native cultures to flourish,’ and ‘dying spawners* feed bears, eagles, other animals, and ultimately the soil itself.’ All five species of Pacific salmon - chinook, or king chum, or dog coho, or silver sockeye, or red and pink, or humpback - spawn** in Alaskan waters, and 90% of all Pacific salmon commercially caught in North America are produced there. The true cultural heart and soul of Alaska’s fisheries, however, is salmon. Taking advantage of this rich bounty, Alaska’s commercial fisheries have developed into some of the largest in the world.Īccording to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Alaska’s commercial fisheries landed hundreds of thousands of tonnes of shellfish and herring, and well over a million tonnes of groundfish (cod, sole, perch and pollock) in 2000. The rivers feed into the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska - cold, nutrient-rich waters which support tens of millions of seabirds, and over 400 species of fish, shellfish, crustaceans, and molluscs. It shares, with Canada, the second longest river system in North America and has over half the coastline of the United States. The forty-ninth state to join the United States of America (in 1959), Alaska is fully one-fifth the size of the mainland 48 states combined. 'The islands’ native inhabitants called this land mass Aleyska, the ‘Great Land’ today, we know it as Alaska. The service was fine.More than two hundred years ago, Russian explorers and fur hunters landed on the Aleutian Islands, a volcanic archipelago in the North Pacific, and learned of a land mass that lay farther to the north. This restaurant always prided itself on locally sourced fresh ingredients too.
I feel like we both had the equivalent of an appetizer and not a meal. I have never seen anything like it and I have never had potato chips with fish and chips before - no fries. The fish had to have been from a package.
My fish and chips consisted of 2 small identical preformed pieces of cod with breading and a small amount of potato chips. I like to try Fish and Chips at any restaurant that serves it to see if I can add it to my favorite's list.
We asked the waiter and that's what we were told. Her sweet potato fries were from a package and not fresh. I have never seen a piece of salmon that tiny. My wife ordered the salmon for $25 and it was a 1 inch wide slice. We spent $70 (wine and desert too) and both left the restaurant hungry. This is hard to write since I have been a fan of this restaurant for many years but it is not as good as it used to be.
