SEATTLE (AP) — Some Seattle chefs went to Sea-Tac Airport early Tuesday to greet the Alaska Airlines flight carrying the season’s first shipment of the highly prized Copper River salmon from Alaska.
Cooking stations were set up next to a cargo facility for a cook-off by three chefs.
Alaska Airlines says there will be at least five more flights Tuesday from Cordova to Anchorage to Seattle and across the United States.
Last year Alaska flew nearly 700,000 pounds of Copper River salmon.
