Yesterday we received a delivery of five pounds of fish. I don’t recall whether I’ve mentioned it before but there are a few luxuries my wife and I allow ourselves. Other than the dogs, of course. We have a subscription to Chicago Lyric Opera and we belong to Sitka Salmon. Sitka Salmon is a sort of co-op of Alaska fishermen who for ten months of the year send their catch directly to consumers in the lower 48. The fish are caught by independent fishermen operating small boats (rather than factory ships), processed and flash frozen and packaged right on board, shipped to us, and delivered by local deliverymen. At this point we have a couple of months of good fish dinners in our freezer. This month we received Pacific Cod.
As long as we have electricity, cooking oil, and a bag of rice, we won’t go hungry, at least not for a couple of months.
Sitka Salmon looks very interesting. We subscribe to a similar service that does pork, chicken and beef from small farms. I would like to add more fish to the diet and we might switch to sitka. Plus I do love salmon. Thanks for the tip!
It’s not cheap but the product is fantastic.
Do you ever get Sablefish? That’s my absolute favorite fish but it’s hard to find and pricey.
In May we’ll get five pounds of sablefish. Then in November we’ll get a little more.
Be glad you don’t live in the People’s Republic of Los Angeles. There improper social distancing or refusal to follow all terms of the lockdown could get your power turned off. As you know spoiled fish smells really really bad and that’s before you try to throw it out.
Since you won’t be going to the Lyric anytime soon I hope your enjoying some of the Met’s free nightly broadcasts.
