about me

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.

Favorite Foods:

My favorite food is Dungeness crab. I don't like to do anything fancy with it. I like it boiled in salted water and eaten plain. No butter, no cocktail sauce. I also like grilled sockeye salmon.

I also love ethnic foods and my top three are Mexican, Chinese, and Spanish. I pretty much love all kinds of food with the exception of Thai food. It really surprises me that there is a type of food out there that I don't care for, but Thai is definitely one of them.

I cook a lot of pasta in my house. I love clam linguini with wine sauce. I tend to make it on the spicy side.

PS- Do vodka martinis constitute a favorite food? Probably not, but they are my favorite drink.
