One thing that really blows my mind is the dedication that I see in Cordova. It’s like the whole community is centered around one single fish. It’s pretty spectacular. And I think as chefs we try to source the best possible quality items and this is just eye opening because it tells a story.

Before coming here, I didn't truly know what Copper River salmon was. To see the science and sustainability connected to the fish; where you can fish, how many people can go out there and what times they can fish, all of that was already pretty mind blowing. But to see the sustainability of the community, that really hit me in a different way. So having this information and thinking wow, there’s more to come is truly something to look forward to. Everybody in some kind of way is connected to salmon there, like I really don’t know if there’s anyone who lives there who isn't connected to salmon! Not even fish in general, but SALMON. Life is centered around salmon in Cordova, and I just think that's so amazing. Out of all the traveling I've done, which has been a lot of food travel, I’ve never experienced anything quite like this.
