Chef Wayne Johnson (formerly of Andaluca Restaurant in Seattle) just recently joined the team at one Seattle's favorite seafood restaurants, Ray's Boathouse. Chef Johnson has been a longtime champion of Bristol Bay salmon, one of the first chefs in Seattle to feature it on his menu during past Savor Bristol Bay weeks. Passionate about unique flavors inspired by international cuisine, Chef Johnson appreciates wild salmon as an important sustainable seafood source that is iconic to Pacific Northwest cuisine. Try Chef Johnson's Bristol Bay salmon cakes recipe, featured at the Seattle screening of Red Gold in October 2011.
Matt Aboussie has been bringing flash frozen, high quality Bristol Bay salmon home to Colorado for several years. In the summer, Matt and his crew operate a set net site on Ekuk Beach near Dillingham. After the fishing season Matt returns to Colorado, where his business Wild Alaska Salmon sells to customers who are interested in supporting a local fisherman who markets a sustainable product. Matt is committed to promoting sustainable seafood, in his words: "Bristol Bay salmon support me, and I do my best to support them through promoting sustainably caught seafood, and high quality Alaskan salmon".
Martorana Family Winery has demonstrated its commitment to land and water stewardship and its enthusiasm for protecting and restoring high-quality habitat for salmon. Located in the Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County, the Martorana Family practices organic farming and has undertaken a whole suite of restoration projects. Most recently, the vineyard made a dramatic change in its water management for frost protection. The project serves as a model for sustainable water use and will benefit endangered coho salmon and threatened steelhead trout in the Russian River watershed. Find more about Martorana.
