america the bountiful

Salmon is synonymous with the Pacific Northwest. And, there's no better place to catch and enjoy the iconic fish than Washington State. Capri embarks on the Skagit River with a member of the Upper Skagit tribe, a people who have lived off the seasonal salmon runs for thousands of years. Capri learns basics of drift net fishing, and then the day's catch will be roasted and distributed amongst tribal members. Then, Capri tastes a Japanese dish of freshly made buckwheat soba noodles with salmon roe and will also visit Seattle's Pike Place Market where Capri enjoys sinigang, a traditional Filipino soup, made with salmon collars purchased from the fish market next door as well as a seasonal delicacy: fried chinook salmon collar.
