Pacific Wild King Salmon is here for the Summer!

Starting on Tuesday July 6, Scott's will be featuring wild Pacific King Salmon at lunch and dinner at all locations.

We are very proud to serve our wonderful Loch Duart Scottish salmon, flown in from an ecologically advanced farm, where Atlantic Salmon are grown in pristine waters, using cutting edge natural techniques, with no antibiotics, hormones or artificial dyes but… we are also delighted to be able to offer wild Pacific King Salmon in season, as it should be served.

When we talk about the survival of wild salmon, we are also talking about the survival of the natural heritage of the Pacific Northwest. When thousands of mature salmon spawn and die, they do far more than produce another generation. This source of nutrition, arriving in the fall, allows many animals to survive the harshness of winter. Where salmon runs have become extinct, the local ecosystem suffers. Species such as bear, eagle, mink and river otter suffer large population losses. Other species show less dramatic, but significant declines. The result is a permanently altered ecosystem. Wild salmon are quite literally the energy that fuels our natural environment.

We are fortunate to have Pacific salmon available to us. These fish are naturally found only in the northern Pacific Ocean, from California to Alaska, and from Siberia to Japan. Wild salmon are a natural treasure, and those of us who choose to live on the West Coast have an obligation to ensure their continued survival. It is only through sound ecologically sustainable fishing practices will we be able to assure their survival for our children. Scott's is proud to be part of this movement.

Stay tuned…

We will be doing a blind salmon and wine tasting in the next few weeks, so look for an invitation to that special event soon.
