KEN SWARNER: THE FISH THAT DEFINES A REGION >>>

Salmon â€" the quintessential symbol of life in the Pacific Northwest â€" needs no introduction in these parts. Salmon connects us to our region â€" makes us feel lucky to live close to the native Pacific stocks, and keeps us heart healthy and robust. In this week’s Volcano I examined our favorite fish from a variety of angles, but for those looking for more information, click on the State’s Department of Ecology site for in-depth analysis. Or, for those ready to cook at home, visit The Salmons for a large listing of recipes. Finally, if you’d care to do your part to keep us all in the pink, contact the Wild Olympic Salmon organization.

Fire some up tonight.
