"I don’t know how I can go back to eating salmon at the store after eating Copper River salmon. Just seeing the process, how it’s all done, it's just amazing."

Learning about the culture of the Copper River, the people that wake up every morning to go fishing to feed their families, to feed the world, has made a big impact on my life and I can’t help but to look at things, especially wild salmon, in a new way.

Getting to see firsthand how much care and respect goes into catching the salmon to preparing them for shipping helps me be able to better inform my readers on why Copper River Salmon is my top choice and helps them to make that choice as well. The more they trust me about my knowledge and ability to lead them in the right direction for choosing the best wild Alaskan salmon, the better for everyone. I love telling everyone about how amazing Copper River Salmon is and now I am even more well informed since this trip.

It was so amazing to meet a group of people who are truly passionate about what they do for a living without money ever once being mentioned. Because this is their way of life, not just a "job". And they all clearly love it no matter the bad weather days, the lower fish counts etc. It is not easy work at all and what they do and sacrifice to get these gorgeous salmon fillets on our plates, I will never ever take for granted.

Chef Thoughts with Byron Gomez

As a chef, I'm always trying to be responsibly knowledgeable on how to execute and order food, but it's not until you really go to places like the Copper River where you realize the whole ecosystem is more than just fish. The rules and regulations from the government and the livelihood of the fishermen - just like any ecosystem on the natural side, there is, you know, the struggles of going up-stream, spawning and so on. To see all of that firsthand was not only a humbling experience, but you guys made me see salmon in a whole different way.
