Hello to our confined and restless friends. Trapped in our own little bubble, we hope everyone is well during this frustrating time and extend our deepest condolences to those affected by this pandemic. Our gratitude to those that continue to contain and eliminate this COVID-19 pandemic; and to those doctors and nurses putting themselves at the forefront. Since Christmas, we know first-hand how family problems (emotionally, medically and financially) can interrupt your lifestyle or routine. Though this pandemic just adds to the frustration, we have faith and are optimistic that we will all overcome our obstacles in the long run.
We would like to also thank those that continue to support the many small business’ like ours around our state and the lower-48. Without you folks we would not be able to do what we do… For instance, did you know that for every batch of Salmon & Salsa we produce, six-people are employed? That is six jobs that cut fillets (leaving fingers intact), smoke the salmon (papers not included), make the salsa (that’s not a dance), pack jars (with Salmon & Salsa love), cook them (in a LARGE cooker), clean them up (yes, they get a bath), then label them (Smoked, Un-smoked, Hot & Mild). That is just our product.
As we are updating our website www.SalsaSalmon.net (not flashy or fancy), we still take orders and mail product right to your door. On that note: We would like to give a special shoot-out to Liona in Tennessee.
Liona contacted us because her husband was returning from Afghanistan and she wanted to surprise him. She informed us that he had our Salmon & Salsa some years ago when a friend of theirs returned from Alaska. Liona told us her husband was wishing he had some for when he returned stateside. After talking with her on the phone, we made arrangements for eight (8) Teaser jars to be at her door before her husband return home. A month later Liona sent this email:
"Good morning, Michael,
Luke finally made it home over the weekend and we gave the Un-smoked salsa a try. It was just like he remembered! I enjoyed it with cream cheese as I have low spice tolerance and I had to microwave it before eating it. It was a wonderful hot dip for me!
Luke learned about your salsa from someone who used to go to Alaska for work I believe. It's been many years since he has enjoyed it. We'll be ordering again in the future!
Thank you,
Ilona"
Thank you, Liona and Luke for his service!
(Wow, what a way to lift your spirits!) Nice to know we left an impression so long ago.
Stay safe All...
