A New Season For Seafood Lovers
Fresh Alaskan King Crab will be back in stock right around October 15th.
We can't wait!
Best Fresh King Crab ever!
Dutch Harbor, Alaska
These are three of crab boats that we had the pleasure of going out on. It was an incredible trip. Dutch Harbor is an awesome place of whales, seals, lots of seabirds, king crab and above all, great people!
"It's not the end of the world but you can see it from here"
KING CRAB UPDATE:
The quota has been caught and the fresh season is over.
We will be carrying the frozen King Crab from Dutch Harbor as a our regular frozen crab leg choice though the price has gone up in relation to the market this year. Still the BEST tasting crab you will ever eat!

West Coast Salmon...
There was a very interesting piece on the CBS news show 60 minutes on Sunday about the west coast salmon issue and what the government does and doesn't do. It seems like they shoot themselves in the foot and then proceed to shoot the other foot too! A lot of money is spent of "salmon recovery" and they even save a few salmon in the process! Check it out.

Fish and Pregnancy:Brain Food for Babies
Two authoritative scientific assessments, one from researchers at the
HARVARD SCHOOL of
PUBLIC HEALTH
and the other from the
INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE
of the National Academy of Sciences, concluded that for most people the health benefits of eating fish and shellfish clearly exceed any risk of contamination from heavy metals or toxic chemicals.
A Point of Interest
The lead researcher from the Harvard study said he was surprised to find how little evidence of harm exists and concluded that the benefits greatly outweigh the risks, a fact that has been lost on the public
(due to negative reporting).
