It’s officially fall! Here in Alaska, that means adding another layer.
Happy first day of fall from the ASMI team! 🍂
If you missed ComFish Alaska forums yesterday, you’re in luck!

Almost every year, ASMI invites chefs and media influencers for an Alaska seafood culinary retreat. We call it the ‘familiarization trip’ or “FAM trip” for short.
2018 FAM trip attendee and food expert Chadwick Boyd demonstrated how to cook with wild Alaska salmon on a segment with CNN. Chadwick shared shopping tips for Alaska salmon, including buying fresh-frozen in stores or online and always looking for "Alaska."

Try forcing fair trade, open competition. Instead of the farce we have.
Recent news stories have raised concerns about the transmission of COVID-19 via seafood or its packaging. Global health experts continue to affirm that COVID-19 is not a foodborne illness.
There is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be transmitted through food or food packaging. Seafood is a vital part of a healthy diet and remains a safe, smart choice. Stay up to date on the facts and science here: www.alaskaseafood.org/foodsafetycovid19/
U.S. fishermen impacted by retaliatory tariffs may now qualify for U.S. Department of Agriculture funding available through the Seafood Trade Relief Program, a $530 million relief program that is “part of a relief strategy to support fishermen and other producers while the administration continues to work on free, fair and reciprocal trade deals to open more markets to help American farmers compete globally".
Many thanks to Alaska's congressional delegation and seafood industry advocates who worked hard to get this program in place.
Hannah Lindoff, senior director of Global Marketing and Strategy for ASMI, is a guest author for National Fisherman's latest Northern Lights. Hannah explains that even though we are apart, the world has grown nearer in many ways.
"Consumers around the world report they are cooking new foods for the first time, with many of them now also teaching their children to cook."
