To honor the prized fish, the state is recognizing the annual Alaska Wild Salmon Day and celebrating the fishermen, industry and fish that are crucial to Alaskans and seafood lovers worldwide. Alaska is home to five wild species of salmon: king, coho, sockeye, keta and pink, all of which are sustainably harvested to the highest global standards. Alaska Wild Salmon Day is a reminder of the importance to #AskForAlaska or look for “Alaska” on packaging and signage whenever choosing salmon to guarantee it is wild and sustainable. https://www.alaskaseafood.org/news/for-release-alaska-wild-salmon-day-honors-our-nations-favorite-fish-and-the-people-who-provide-it/ Pacific Seafood Processors Association 1900 W Emerson Place Suite 205, Seattle, WA 98119 Phone: 206.281.1667 E-mail: admin@pspafish.net; Website: www.pspafish.net Our office days/hours are Monday-Friday 8:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M.
