Ketchikan residents have been known to wonder aloud whether it’s okay to worship salmon. For Linda Meuter, it’s not even a question. Take a stroll through Chinook & Company, her store filled with a treasure-trove of salmon-related items, and you’ll see why. Here worshipping salmon is not just okay – it’s a requirement.
Linda and her husband have been involved in the cannery business all their lives. He still runs Alaska General Seafood, one of the larger profitable canneries in Ketchikan. Linda herself is a canned salmon expert and can tell you all about the attributes of the Omega 3 fatty acids, cold press methods and more.
Of course Chinook and Company carries several types of salmon, in the can and in glass jars. Linda will happily give you the low-down on each – and will also happily package up and send your purchases back home for you.
You’ll find Chinook and Company on historic Stedman Street right down from New York Hotel and Ketchikan Dry Goods. You can catch them all in one fell swoop for a satisfying afternoon.
