West Seattle food news: From salmon to Swinery

WSB photojournalist Christopher Boffoli got that photo of Taku River salmon at Seattle Fish Company in The Junction this morning – he says that while everybody’s talking about the Copper River season right now, Taku has already arrived and is “not as well-known but is less expensive and has a fat content similar to the famed Copper River salmon. This fish comes from Southeast Alaska’s largest salmon producing river with up to 2 million salmon returning annually.” Meantime, if you haven’t already heard, bacon fans have a new reason for Westside pride — we somehow missed this earlier in the week (thanks to MargL for alerting us today): Seems the storied Swinery is apparently now going to be based in West Seattle, per this Slog report.

I’m thinkin’ a piece of that Taku wrapped in a few slices of that bacon would NOT be a bad thing. . .

Does anyone know if the Swinery is opening up the West Seattle kitchen doors for classes? If the Beacon Hill House is out of business, where can I buy a Swinery T-Shirt?

JBL: you can probably drop Gabriel a note asking where the boxes of shirts are. Maybe he’ll be selling them at the WSFM by summer! I’m a convert, formerly in love with Sea Breeze, but since changing their recipe (HIGH SALT) I haven’t been back. Go Swinery!
