CHUM FROM THE YUKON AND PINK FROM THE POLAR STAR

IN Alaska, both the indigenous people and other Americans fish for salmon with an MSC certification and are bound by strict catch regulations. In summer, Yup’ik Eskimo Maxine casts her nets from her small boat into the fast-flowing Yukon, in the hope of catching lots of chum salmon which, according to Maxine, is the best salmon available.

ONE of the 6,200 inhabitants of Kodiak Island, Pat Pikus takes a different approach to salmon fishing: he sails out to open sea and uses ring nets. Fellow fishermen see Pat as one of the best salmon fishermen in Alaska. He catches pink salmon, sailing his family’s boat the Polar Star. The fishermen name the pink salmon after a village at the foot of the narrow Aleutian mountain range, an isthmus reaching a different time zone in the Pacific Ocean. Fishermen like Pat, who use ring nets in this part of Alaska, strictly adhere to the catch restrictions. A portion of his catch is destined for the Ocean Beauty cannery in Seattle, the same cannery where the Fish Tales tins are manufactured. Salmon fishing on the open sea in these tempestuous parts of the Pacific is not without its dangers. Pat and his men regularly save people from drowning in the freezing cold water.
