The Keta Are Coming!
Puget Sound Fall Keta Salmon are now returning home from the high seas, where they've been living for the last three to six years.
Long undervalued, underused, under-appreciated, and misnamed, the under-dogs of salmon are schooling up at sea with their fellow chums to give us a taste of the last salmon run of the season.
Fall Keta Salmon are the last intact, sustainable salmon run left in Puget Sound. Our local family fishing fleets are out daily working to bring these beautiful fish to market, and to put dollars into our local fishing economy.
The zeitgeist salmon of our tough economic times, Keta are an excellent eating salmon, mild of flavor, a great friend of all sauces, and a smoker’s dream, and they are affordable. Have you seen any seafood at the counter for less than $10 per pound lately? Keta are retailing for $7.99 or less for filets. Tens of thousands of pounds are getting shipped out weekly to the Mid-West and East Coast. The seafood savvy Northwest would be foolhardy to miss this boat.
Join us for a Media and Chef only event at Ballard's Lower Golden Gardens Park. Look for the Giant Salmon Sculpture BBQ (made possible by a $10,000 Seattle Arts Commission Grant), and taste some excellent, fresh Keta salmon hot off the amazing Hydrogrill. We will have a fire, some warming drinks, and few other seafood treats. Seafood experts will be on hand to evaluate this Keta salmon and weigh in with their informed perspectives.
