The first Copper River kings are here!
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - It’s an annual Alaskan tradition to get everyone excited for the summer fishing season — the first, fresh-caught Copper River king salmon arrived in Anchorage Tuesday afternoon.
“First fresh salmon coming out of the state ahead of Bristol Bay,” said Jeff Munro, a cargo operations manager. “The Copper River salmon is a real special salmon. It’s a special breed and species. It has a higher oil content.” “For Alaska Airlines, this is the start of our seafood season,” Munro said. “We move usually around 14 million pounds out of the state of Alaska down to the Lower 48 throughout the summer. This is a really exciting day for us. It’s always a marker of summer’s here or on the way and we’re ready for it.”
“This will all come down to our warehouse,” Munro said. “We will process that, reorganize it. Set it up for flights going down to the Lower 48 and get those back out probably this afternoon and tonight to get them on their way for the first fresh salmon in the whole country.”“Copper River salmon really marks the beginning of Alaska’s summer salmon season,” said Cassandra Squibb with Copper River Seafoods.
