Before leaving Seattle I ate at Canlis Restaurant, and Willows Inn at Lummi Island. Here are some shots of the food.

Southeast Seining
On June 21st 2011 we left Seattle, Washington. Four days up the inside passage to Ketchikan, Alaska. Five guys, 58 foot Fishing Vessel, 80 days, $5,000 worth of food, on a mission to catch a million pounds of wild salmon. This is an intense business. I have spent the last eleven years of my life in restaurants, lived in five states all over the country. I feel like I have seen everything. Until this. I am the cook onboard. I am responsible for keeping a $5,000 food budget over the next three months. Feeding five hungry guys four times everyday. Changing in and out of rain gear 15 to 20 times . From piling the quarter mile long net on the stern of the boat, to pulling my bacon out of the oven as it gets crispy for the 25 minutes of piling gear. Food is what I know, it’s what I am comfortable doing. Mix in the most dangerous job in the world every twenty minutes and it is going to be interesting. This is my summer.
