In this episode, Steve Kurian of Wild for Salmon shares the story of a life-changing summer spent on the remote shores of Bristol Bay, Alaska\u2014living by the rhythms of the tides, the weather, and one of the largest salmon runs on the planet. The conversation explores what makes wild salmon so unique\u2014from its extraordinary life cycle to its essential role in nourishing entire ecosystems\u2014and why this pristine food source stands in such stark contrast to modern, industrialized alternatives.   Steve also offers a glimpse into the realities of commercial fishing: the long hours, the dangerous conditions, and the deep respect required to harvest food in a truly sustainable way. Along the way, themes of connection, stewardship, and traditional foodways emerge\u2014inviting a deeper look at how we source, prepare, and value what we eat. This episode is a reminder that food is not just fuel\u2014it is part of a living system. And when that system is honored and protected, it has the power to nourish both people and the planet.   WAPF Membership Ad Visit Steve Kurian's website to learn more Join the Nourishing Our Children closed Facebook group   Check out our sponsors: Nutrition Therapy Institute "Get 50% off your first course" and Paleovalley "Get 15% off your first order."
