The Salmon Sisters: Feasting, Fishing, and Living in Alaska: A Cookbook with 50 Recipes Emma Teal Laukitis

Hearty and comforting recipes that honor wild foods from the sea and the shore--and the inspiring life and work story from this famed pair of sisters and Alaskan fisherwomen.

Share in the remarkable and wild lives of Emma Teal Laukitis and Claire Neaton, the Salmon Sisters, who grew up on a homestead in the Aleutians where the family ran a commercial fishing boat in the Alaskan sea. Their book reveals through stories, recipes, and photography this outward-bound lifestyle of natural bounty, the honest work on a boat's deck, and the wholesome food that comes from local waters and land. Here are creative and simple ways to enjoy wild salmon, halibut, and spot prawns, as well as simple crafts and ideas for exploring the natural world. The sisters are committed to sustaining and celebrating the seafaring community in Alaska, and their business of selling products related to and from the ocean donates a can of wild-caught fish to local food banks for each item purchased.
