Wild blueberries grace the banks of many of Alaska’s 600,000 miles of streams and rivers. Those streams and rivers are key to the life of wild salmon. Spawning salmon, with a sense of smell reportedly 30,000 times that of humans, must smell those blueberries lining the bank of their natal stream. Wild blueberries & wild salmon—it is pure food poetry from the beginning to this delicious end.
