Alaska and Fishing
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game's mission is to protect, maintain, and improve the fish, game, and aquatic plant resources of the state, and manage their use and development in the best interest of the economy and the well-being of the people of the state, consistent with the sustained yield principle.
Thousands of visitors explore Alaska each year searching for scenic wonders. While no one is ever disappointed, the lucky ones experience more. They discover a hidden treasure... Cordova, Alaska.
Catch us at the second annual Wild Seafood Exchange!
Created by Philips Publishing Group, publishers of Fishermen's News, the Wild Seafood Exchange is a unique interactive conference, bringing together independent commercial fishermen, restaurants, supermarkets, and distributorsÑwith the aim of making real business connections between the harvesterÑand the consumer.
Our first conference last spring was enthusiastically embraced by fishermen and the restaurant community:
"You hit a homerun with this conference" it surpassed all my expectations."
David Harsila, Puget Sound Salmon Commission
"This program was long overdue, and very well prepared. Count me in for next year."
Maria Hines, Executive Chef, Earth and Ocean Restaurant
"Well Done. Thank you for putting this together. I look forward to the next one."
Bill Webber, Gulkana Seafoods Direct
Join us in February when we'll do it all again! Our expanded 2005 program will include case studies from fishermen currently marketing their product directly, tips from distributors on how to best get that product to restaurants, and a panel of restaurant operators who can discuss how they need to receive wild seafood to make it commercially viable.
