Welcome to the Pacific Northwest, where the annual salmon run is a sight to behold. Follow the journey of these magnificent fish from river to plate.

The journey begins in the icy waters of the Pacific Ocean, where the salmon spend most of their adult lives. They feed and grow, preparing for their long journey ahead.

As the days grow shorter and colder, the salmon sense it's time to return to their birthplace. They swim upstream, navigating through treacherous rapids and waterfalls.

The salmon's determination is admirable as they leap and fight their way upstream. They must reach their spawning grounds to continue their species' legacy.

Finally, the salmon reach their destination - the very same river where they were born. They lay their eggs and complete their life cycle, sacrificing themselves for the next generation.

But the journey doesn't end there. The salmon's journey continues on our plates, where they provide us with a delicious and nutritious source of protein.
