We are a global organization working with fisheries, seafood companies, scientists, conservation groups and the public to promote the best environmental choice in seafood.  In other words, they make sure we know where our fish are coming from, we are not over fishing the fish we eat and not destroying their habitat while catching them.  I don’t know about you, but I would like my  children to be able to eat fish just like I did as a child.  And I love the idea.

I was happy to get the chance to introduce our Salmon Jerky to a friend of mine who has an acute case of Celiac Disease.  I typically have to only look down the health food aisle for those typical “gluten free” options when he comes to visit.  But not today.  He was able to finally enjoy the same things I do.  After one bite, he said it had been over 8 years since he has enjoyed a taste like this.  A jerky, without all the additives, with true smoke and pepper flavors within the salmon.

All of our salmon products are currently going through gluten free testing so we can introduce our products to all of our wonderful  friends and family who every day have to ask, what can I eat today?
