Recipe of the Week - Herb-Crusted King Salmon with Roasted Lemons

Recipe of the Week - November 19th 2008
Last fall, we received a call from Martha Stewart Living regarding an idea for a holiday alternative to more traditional turkey, roast beef, leg of lamb or goose recipes for holiday entertaining. To guarantee a large enough fillet, we recommended our Wild King Salmon Large Party Fillet. In the past, we have supplied wild salmon for the Martha Stewart Show, most notably when Tom Douglas was the Guest Chef, preparing Wild Sockeye Salmon.
From the BluePrint Article:
"This healthy fish dish is your anytime ally: It looks and tastes great, and it couldn't be faster or easier to prepare. You can serve it for a weeknight dinner or a weekend get-together in almost less time then it takes to set the table. A whole-salmon fillet has the same festive quality as roast beef or leg of lamb, and its a dish all your guests, including non-meat-eaters,
will ooh and aah over."
Allie Lewis Clapp, Deputy Food Editor, Martha Stewart's BluePrint Magazine

Alaska King Crab - Expect King Crab prices to bump up over the next few weeks. Our standard for King Crab Legs has always been our Super Jumbo King Crab Legs.

We are also re-introducing our Jumbo King Crab Legs. Our Jumbo Legs are graded 9/12 and average nearly 1lb per leg!
