Peter Pan Seafoods’ Wild Caught Alaska Salmon with Ribbon Kelp Chimichurri took top honors when the Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation announced winners of the Alaska Symphony of Seafood Feb. 24 in Juneau.

Contestants, industry representatives, the Alaska Legislature, news media and other special guests gathered to celebrate and toast the winners at the event, co-hosted by United Fishermen of Alaska with record-setting attendance.

With special focus on Bristol Bay, the Wild Salmon Chowder by Thunder's Catch also won multiple awards. Made by two Bristol Bay fishermen, Kara Berlin and Taran White, the chowder is preservative-free, shelf-stable and made with Bristol Bay sockeye and “real whole foods and ingredients one could find in their own kitchen,” said Berlin. The eye-catching packaging and appealing smell and taste won Thunder’s Catch the Bristol Bay Choice and Juneau People’s Choice.

“We’re very grateful, and look forward to carrying this momentum to connect with more retailers and direct consumers,” said White. “We’re catching and creating good, wild food for good, wild people,” said Berlin.
