What vinos are you pulling?
To start: 2005 Brewer-Clifton Sweeney Canyon Chardonnay With the meal: 2003 Archery Summit Arcus Estate 2003 Martinelli Bondi Home Ranch Water Trough
KSC, I had some Copper River salmon two weeks ago and also paired it with the classic pinot match. I had an 05 Walter Hansel Cahill Lane which was excellent as it was restrained and elegant. I am thinking the Martinelli might be too big a wine that might overpower the fish, which you want to avoid. Just my two cents.
vinole: Too late. Opened the Martinelli. However, by the time we got to it, it had a bit of air. Indeed, it wasn't overpowering at all. Grilled the CR Salmon on the BBQ on Cedar Planks. Simple rub on the planks of EVOO, a pinch of salt and cracked pepper. BBQ'd on closed cover until nicely ready. String beans and mashed potatoes to go with. Very homie. MMMMMMMMM Took w+a's advice and enjoyed the Brewer-Clifton Sweeney Canyon Chardonnay warmer than I normally would have. In one word: Beautiful. Very enjoyable and a great starter. The Bondi Home Ranch Water Trough just paired nicely. Light drinking tonight actually. Just the two bottles. Very enjoyable meal. 
KSC02- Did you get your SeaBear catalogue in the mail? Lots of great salmon still to come this summer.  |

No, no catalogue, yet. I DO wish I'd ordered more than I did. Go figure.  However, there is Coho coming in September. |

So it's worth doing through Seabear? I have been tempted. Other than the Copper River, is there anything else you are itching to try? |

IMO, Yes. For the CRS surely. There are several other items that catch my eye (the oysters and King Crab Legs look awesome). However, Montreal is a seaport of sorts, and it's close to the Atlantic Provinces, so fresh seafood is very obtainable. Thus, I'm quite selective and, as of yet, unconvinced to pull the trigger for these items. Maybe in the future. The CRS is a delicacy for me, of which I'm willing to spend the $$ and see the value. |

Thanks for the input. I might not do any this month, but they are offering Copper River salmon shipments in September as well. I have never had it, but I have always heard it's delicious.

Just get some thresher shark. Some French cooking and that would be beautiful. |

Got the email last evening. This is actually their second shipment. They sent an email a few weeks ago, with an option to choose one of two shipping weeks. I chose this one. You should be hearing from them soon with a similar email, I would think. |

KSCO2, I got a call last evening, seems Seabear ran short of product, and will ship again next week. I had to postpone a dinner party - bummer!

Bummer indeed.  If you lived close, I'd swap with you, as mine just arrived today. |

WOW! I'm debating this time whether to pull the trigger. Montreal being a port city close to the N. Atlantic not sure if I'll seek this out this time around. Hmmmm... Discussions yesterday were regarding the soon to come deliveries of Lobster caught that morning and trucked into the city, along with cases of crab's legs! Oh the choices.  |

Good idea, free up some cash so you have more orange roughy money. |

Copper River Salmon isn't offered in the markets here as so many other choices, from the East coast, are available. This means a special direct shipment. Not impossible, surely. Maybe I need to re-evalaute. |

Central Market had King this weekend...north of $40.00 a lb.  Central Market is usually the first place to get it in our area. I expect others by this weekend and the prices to start to slowly drop a little as a result. It's just running a tiny bit later than normal.
