Pinks, Pickles, and Pilot Bread
At Wildfish Cannery, we're constantly on the hunt for the obscure and underutilized, but one of our newest products, Smoked Pink Salmon, celebrates one of Alaska's most plentiful resources. Pink salmon are the most abundant salmon species in Alaska, basically the bread and butter of our salmon industry. Here we raise a glass of pickle juice to toast a classically common combination: salmon, mayonnaise, pickles and Pilot Bread.
