The only fish in the world worthy of a crown 👑!! . Copper River king salmon’s tail is a hallmark of wild slalom that can’t be imitated; a full healthy tail made strong by years swimming free in the Pacific Ocean ... yes, there is a need for sustainable aquaculture, but salmon are meant to swim hundreds of miles to feed at sea and return to the rivers to spawn. This cannot be duplicated. Wild salmon is a different fish altogether than Atlantic salmon. #repost @copperriversalmon . #sustainable #salmon #seafood #fish #seafoodisthenewblack #seafoodie #kmega3 #wildcaught #wildsalmon #alaska #alaskaseafood #copperriver
It won’t break you — so take 3:07 minutes and watch. And if it doesn’t spark outrage, sorrow, and even shame for some of our (gulp) fellow human beings, then you didn’t watch. And for the record, we could never be friends. Copy and paste: https://laughingsquid.com/endangered-animals-sing-i-dreamed-a-dream/?fbclid=IwAR1q9xvcFc3zCBnf960GsvvYkyBtj1gZ1E9GGxiafyqwDMngDwRSIornuQU This is why we demand sustainable practices, on humane and ethical practices and why we do not condone poaching or other practices that harm animals. This is why we need to take care of our oceans, land and air. This is not our planet. It belongs to all creatures, great and small. Yes, it’s that simple. . #sustainable #animals #love #conservation #truth #endangeredspecies #endangeredanimals #earth #planet #ethical #antipoaching

A riddle: If I were a 🧛‍♀️, I would eat this desert first. 🎂!! What am I? . . . OK so it’s not really a riddle but doesn’t this just look like something that belongs in a vampire’s kitchen?

I mean there’s more to eat in the world than 🐟 🦞 🐠 🦀 . #redvelvet #redvelvetcake #baking #cake #frosting #vampire #cooking #delicious #yum #sweets #seafoodisthenewblack #dessert

Musings from my other blog : The Flavored Word

You don’t really think wickedness is evil, do you?

I think it’s time we all give the Wicked Witch of the West a break. I mean it’s plausible that the poor thing began her days with good intention only to have her deeds turn sour … and there is, is there not, a distinct difference between unintentional harm and purposeful, decisive damage—like when you […]

Stay Gold Ponyboy (and grab the bull by the horns)

“Natures first green is gold, Her hardest hue to old. Her early leaf’s a flower, But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down today, Nothing gold can stay.” ~ Robert Frost I memorized this poem the first time I ever heard it … I was probably 12 or 13 but I […]

How to get over being lonely—hint, rum helps.

You ever get that feeling that you’re all alone in the world—not literally, unless, that is, you live on some remote island where you really are all alone minus a few sand crabs and, if you’re lucky, a long lost barrel of hidden pirate’s rum. The kind of alone I’m referring to is the kind […]
