During my youth we ate a lot of salmon. Salmon was cheap in those days because each year, particularly in the spring, great runs swam up the rivers of the Northwest until all the dams got completed during the last century....(snip)
We didn't realize it then, of course, but all that salmon was good for us. All that fish oil Roto-Rooterizing our arteries and balancing the depradations of all the macaroni-and-cheese, Spam, eggs and whatever, not to mention cigarettes, that today, we've been told, will eventually drop us like a sledged ox....(snip)

Apparently another plug for the Atkins diet.

I think you didn't finish the article, actually it's no plug for Atkinson at all! LOL
To: WaterDragon
I guess it's not exactly a plug after all. As soon as I saw Atkins mentioned, I stopped reading.
To: SamAdams76
Yeah, I know what you mean. Some people are really nuts about that diet. But then it probably works for them. Might not be for everyone, though.

Hey, Linda - you better get in here and see what's on the menu!

Interesting read. I was never quite sure what he was getting at though...

I would have lead with Captain Small. He sounds like an interesting skipper.

My Mom caught salmon and canned it in Alaska - may she rest in peace.

I have a friend who catches Salmon (always capitalized in my book!) and cans it, and gives me a few tins for Christmas. It's a treat I always look forward to! Bless your mom!
