In Celtic mythology the salmon is associated with wisdom. Welsh mythology looks to the salmon as the wisest of all creatures. Glasgow, Scotland features a salmon on the city’s coat of arms. According to one Northwest Native Indian legend, salmon were actually human beings with superhuman abilities and eternal lives.
When you know about the salmon’s incredible life journey, one that takes them from raging rivers to the mighty ocean and back again, it makes sense that our ancestors honored them.
That’s why sustainable fishing has been an important part of my own heritage. And it’s why the smoked salmon that you buy from Fairhaven Bay Seafoods is carefully selected, hand-filleted and treated with gratitude and respect every step of the way.
Here’s a little video about family tradition and the holiday season. Leave a comment and tell me what you think.

Salmon are an indicator species. Their health report the health of the ecosystem.
I like the video too…the song reminds me of my childhood and the pictures make me nostalgic for things that are real, ya know?
The more a person learns about the salmon species the more appreciative they become of wild fish I like to believe. It is so easy to take things for granted like having the choice when shopping and enjoying easy access to wildlife. The support a person gives as a consumer in wildlife preservation can be effortless and immediately gratifying. Costanti and company make it easy for you to get involved. Consider shopping FairhavenBaySeafoods this holiday season for salmon’s sake!
The video is good. I really like the old photos and how they are delivered to the viewer. The music selection is not bad either.
