RSS FeedNEWS: We're Partnering with Wild Alaskan Yukon River Salmon Group ...
If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you know by now that we always have big things going on at Oldways. Recipe contests, culinarias, conferences, racking up frequent flier miles. It’s just how we roll here. So today, I wanted to make sure you guys knew about our latest adventure: we are kicking off a new initiative, “Oldways Traditional American Table” with Kwik’pak Fisheries in Emmonak, a small village in Alaska’s Yukon Delta.
For two decades, the staff here at Oldways has been all about exploring the food histories of other countries, specifically in the Mediterranean region, Asia and Latin America. Now, it’s time for us to celebrate the wonderful old ways of America! (cue the fireworks!)
Sara, our Executive Vice President, is so excited. “While our traditions here in the U.S. may be younger than others, they have a profound influence on the way we eat and live,” she said in our press release. “Our first collaboration is with a truly American product, Wild Alaskan Yukon River Salmon, harvested by the Yup’ik fishing families. This is a perfect old ways product: nutritious, sustainable, and delicious.”
Bottom line: Wild Yukon River salmon packs a powerful nutritional punch!
Yukon Salmon are at least twice as high in Omega-3 fatty acids – and in some cases, even three or four times as high – as any other fish in the USDA database, according to independent research. One 100-gram (3.5 oz.) serving of Yukon salmon contains up to 5.2 grams of Omega-3s – the equivalent of 10 average-potency fish oil capsules. For comparison, Alaskan Sockeye has 2.7 grams and canned tuna only .3 grams. Consuming Omega-3s has been linked to heart health, a strong immune system, healthy brain development, visual acuity and even...alaska salmon fishing season - News
