Just a note about what i was told by a Pacific Seafood salesperson. He does not sell downtown Seattle, so he could not give me specifics, but said that that is basically the only place that they sell wild steelhead, other than out of state. He did mention Canlis and Chandlers and said that Pike Place took much of the fish, for Seattle. He did not know much else. I am trying to maintain a neutral stance in his eyes. He did say that someone called, ranting and raving yesterday. I think that is good, but the ranting and raving part must stop, only basic facts. Simply call and express your disapproval, that is all. I will post a name and number to call tomorrow, the manager, who apparently deals directly with these sales. Lets just say that they are concerned, but as far as i am concerned, this battle has not really started. I have also contacted Chef's Collabrative 2000, a group, nation wide that promotes and supports sustainable agriculture, sustainable fish harvests and basic ecologically sound food production practices. They are in most major cities, and i hope will have some insight as to what we can do next.
Save our wild Steelhead!
