What could be better than heading into the winter with a freezer stocked with wild Alaskan salmon? I think I speak for most Jackson folks when I say: high-quality fresh fish is always a treat to get your hands on in Wyoming.
Pride of Bristol Bay’s wild Alaskan salmon fall buying club is open now for ordering through Sep. 10. Orders will be available for pick up on Sat., Oct. 7 at the Farm to Fork Festival, once fishermen have returned from a summer up North.
Every year Pride of Bristol Bay does a salmon buying club in Jackson, where community members in the greater Teton area, can order a case of salmon fillets at a discounted rate. This year, they are offering something new. You can buy a case of wild alaskan sockeye salmon by the 10 or 20.
Bristol Bay is one of the last and largest sustainable sockeye fisheries on the planet, known for its high-quality fish, as well as its comprehensive and effective resources stewardship programs.
“Working with Slow Food in the Tetons has been such a great experience these last few years,” says Steve Kurian, Pride of Bristol Bay owner and captain of the FV Ava Jane. “We always feel really lucky to bring our wild salmon to communities like Jackson who appreciate good, clean, hearty nourishment, but to do it in a way that also supports an organization focused on growing a sustainable local food community all year long makes it extra special!”
Pride of Bristol Bay has been partnering with Slow Food in the Tetons since 2015, and a portion of the proceeds from the Fall Buying Club goes towards supporting local food in Jackson.
“Partnerships with food producers are critical to our work at Slow Food in the Tetons. We’ve built an excellent relationship with Captain Steve from Pride of Bristol Bay over the years enabling us to bring high quality and affordable protein into our community.”
