Season For Flavor Sampling
Many people still don't know that the Copper River season extends beyond early June. This program focuses on educating food writers about the full flavor of full season Copper River salmon.
Season for Flavor participants receive complimentary samples of each Copper River salmon species throughout the summer, as well as PWS sockeye and smoked salmon at the end of the season. They also receive species information, recipes, cooking tips and information about our fishery.
Delivery Schedule:
- May: Copper River King
- June: Copper River Sockeye
- July: Prince William Sound Sockeye
- August: Copper River Coho
- September: Smoked Copper River Salmon
In partnership with the Alaskan Brewing Company, we have selected beer & food writers to receive a beer pairing with each monthly shipment to raise awareness about Cooking with Beer and all the great varieties of Alaskan Beer.
