Wild Salmon Celebration – Coverage

Wild Salmon Dished Up at Fisherman’s Wharf

Last night was a lot cooler than last year’s Wild Salmon Celebration, but that didn’t stop chefs plating up some very creative and wildly different dishes, all made with Sockeye Salmon.  The wines were all salmon-safe and Shelter Point Distillery was onsite generously sampling their stellar whisky! Thanks to the Chefs Table Society for pulling this all together.
