I just watched this video all the way through--Most interesting and engaging. Russell Cockrum was right on when he says, "All this seafood that we're catching as Alaska--It should have 'Alaska' stamped on it. You know it's Wild Alaskan seafood." With all the generic "Wild Pacific Salmon" that shows up in stores and gets served in restaurants, much of it is labeled "Product of China" meaning that the product goes through its final processing there, mainly to remove pin bones which is done by cheap hand labor. To get to that point, the fish is caught wherever--US, Canada, Russia, China, Japan, etc, frozen locally then shipped to China where the product is thawed, processed, re-frozen, packaged and shipped worldwide including the United States. To insure consumers here in the US are getting top quality, one needs the assurance that Wild Caught Alaska Salmon is caught and processed in the US.

My dad and his uncle Tillman ran a fish trap on Baranof island in 46 after they got back from the war.
