Copper River Seafoods offers Alaska Salmon Day special

Precautions prompted by the novel coronavirus have squashed most of the usual festivities of Alaska Wild Salmon Day, designated under a bill signed by former Gov. Bill Walker to be on Aug. 10 every year, but Copper River Seafoods is the exception.

The Cordova-based company, with corporate offices in Anchorage, is inviting salmon aficionados to submit their favorite salmon recipe, along with a picture of their dish, with the contest winner to receive a 10-pound box of wild frozen sockeye salmon fillets.

The deadline for entries is 5 p.m. Aug. 31.

Competitors, who must be at least 18 years of age, may email their entries to sales@alaskawildseafoodmarket.com.

Winners will be notified via email and the prize package of sockeye fillets must be picked up in Anchorage, Copper River Seafoods officials said.

Entries may be posted with a photo of their entry dish on the Copper River Seafoods Facebook page.
