A CELEBRATION OF SALMON!

Salmon fishing is the cultural and economic backbone for many communities throughout Alaska. For those who live there, preparing and eating these delicious and nutritious fish is a way of life. When you eat salmon almost every day, however, you have to learn to get creative with it! Join author and outdoorsman Joseph Classen on a culinary adventure that all started on Kodiak Island: a major epicenter of Alaska salmon fishing and a resourceful, multicultural community that has learned to serve up salmon in many unique ways.

Different Fish - Different Flavor - Different Recipes

The five species of wild caught Pacific salmon come in a variety of sizes and they each have different flavors, nutritional profiles, appearances, and textures. This variety creates many distinctive cooking opportunities that are often overlooked by those who don't regularly prepare or consume these amazing fish.

Explore a Whole New World of Possibilities!

As you will discover in this book, what may be ideal for cooking one species of salmon will not be so favorable for cooking another.
