Good Food is Everybody's Business
Loki Fish Co. has been going strong for more than 35 years, and has evolved from a single fishing boat to a vertically-integrated, direct marketing company selling a wide variety of fresh, frozen, and processed fish products in Washington, Oregon, and northern California, as well as through an online store and online resellers.
At GoodFood World we’re always on the lookout for something special for dinner. This week we picked up a “2-Serving Portion” of wild sockeye salmon from the Loki Fish Co. stand at Ballard Farmers Market.
The Knutson family has been fishing the waters of the Pacific Northwest for generations. They know a thing or two about fresh wild salmon. In this video, you’ll see their family recipe for pan-fried wild salmon—and learn the story behind the recipe.
What’s a guy to do when life slaps him in the face? When a roll of the boat knocks him to the
deck? When a rogue wave drenches him in water? He gets up, dries himself off, and figures out a way.
Pete Knutson has always been the kind of guy to find a way around the hurdles and challenges life tosses his way.
At GoodFood World, we have been intimately involved with Northeast Pacific Salmon fishing for some time. We recognize Loki Fish Company, a small family business in Seattle, as the best example of sustainable fishing and direct marketing of fish in our region.
Even as we face globalization (and standardization) of nearly every element of our lives, including the food we eat, there are between 25 and 27 million small and medium independent companies working separately to deliver us diversity and quality. It’s time we recognized the value that these businesses deliver to us, and to our communities.
If you live on the East Coast, West Coast, or Gulf Coast or even the Great Lakes, and if you’ve looked closely at the fish in your local supermarket – regardless of where you live – chances are you’ll find your fish originates from just about anywhere else in the world.
