Our head butcher lady said the same thing. She has relatives up in the Seattle area, and they were buying from seafood stores from $5 to $6/pound.

I think what is happened is that last week we had the famous Napa Wine Auction. The super rich elites fly in the week before or stay the week after. The chefs can charge several hundred $'s for each person in private dining. So the demand in this area for the Copper River Salmon for these 3 weeks puts it out of sight for the rest of us.

Thats a shame about the Copper River Salmon....its a treat, that comes only this one time a year, or so it seems...it would have been nice for some to have been put aside, for regualr folks, who look forward to their Copper River Salmon, and enjoy it just as much, maybe more so, than the rich...

It sounds as if you know and love the Oregon cost, as much as I do...the very first time, I made that drive so many, many years ago, I was really moved to tears by the beauty of the place...If our plans stay on track, we should be making that trip this year in the fall...I can hardly wait...
