Something fishy from Alaska

Posted on May 16th, 2008 by Harriet Baskas

Seafood lovers in the Northwest and around the world have been waiting with, yes, baited breath for this year’s Copper River Salmon season to begin.

No more waiting: today an Alaska Airlines plane left Cordova, Alaska for Seattle, Washington with the season’s first shipment of this tasty and often wildly-priced wild salmon.

The first fish off the plane got celebrity treatment:
