Keta Salmon Fish Cutting Event
12 - 4pm, Reservations not required.
We will be out on the floor cutting to order Marine Stewardship Council Certified Keta Salmon filets on sale for $5.99/# (regularly $8.99/#). A professional cutter from Fortune Fish will be here, so don’t miss this opportunity to see how the pros do it! The Keta Salmon is from the Yukon river area of Alaska. This fish is caught using a gill net, to limit by-catch (fish caught unintentionally while trying to catch other fish) as well as limit damage to the salmon. It is then processed and shipped directly to our stores within 72 hours. Interested customers can watch the cutting, order their steaks, and sample fresh just-off-the-truck grilled fish. Swing by and join in the fun (while supplies last).
