obsessed, you wonder where all the fish go, ask Pacific Seafood Company, they actually ship most of the steelhead out of state, to other markets, but mainly to supermarkets in the midwest. It is an easy sale for them, fresh salmon like fish out of the knowledge zone, the people who buy have no idea where they come from and care even less. In Washington, it is a bit of a hassle to sell wild steelhead, you need a permit, once i was told that it cost $500 bucks, but i find that hard to believe. Pressure on any market or restaurant will slowly have effect, especially if it can be consistent. I will make some calls in the morning and see if i can find out some specifics so that i can post some names.It is also time to pressure our fine lawmakers into passing a law that forbids the sale of wild steelhead. This has already been done in Oregon, ten years ago!
Save our wild Steelhead.
