Make summer grilling a little more thrilling with the help of Yukon River salmon, whose delicious flavor and high oil content (up to 34 percent) make it the gold standard of wild salmon. These fish are caught by Yup'ik villagers during a commercial fishing season that lasts only two to three weeks. Since this is the first time Yukon River salmon are available to the general public since the 1970s, it's no wonder that Seattle chefs are lining up to prepare it in cooking demonstrations. Visit Metropolitan Market (in Sand Point, Queen Anne, or Admiral) during the first annual Yukon River Festival (June 19–July 1) to catch some demos. Call Metro Market headquarters at 206-923-0740 for more information.
