What a great surprise! Cast members from Discovery’s Deadliest Catch ordered up some of our Smoked Salmon Chowder for lunch! They loved it! They even came over and took a picture in front of our booth today at the 2013 Commercial Fishermen’s Festival!
Nick Mcglashan, Matt Bradley & Johnathan Hillstrand from Deadliest Catch
We were surprised to learn that Captain Johnathan Hillstrand of the F/V Time Bandit spends his time off the boat writing and illustrating children’s books. Pulling from his experiences out in the Bering Sea. The book has some Deadliest Catch jokes and references, like Sig the Starfish, a reference to Captain Sig Hansen of the F/V Northwestern, another Deadliest Catch boat. Sig Starfish has a sister who was a star on Hollywood Boulevard who “got tired of people walking all over her, though.” The pirate captain is named Don Task, but the name on his hat says “Don’t Ask.”
The illustrations are simple and whimsical with a life lesson woven into each story. Having children and grandchildren of our own (and being Deadliest Catch fans too), we will be ordering up Hillstrand’s books for our kids to enjoy! You can pick up your copy too at: http://shop.timebandit.tv/

Trails End – Seaside, OR. —-> blogged about our Smoked Salmon Chowder! Here is what they had to say about our Smoked Salmon Chowder Recipe & Spice Blend Packs!
“I would highly recommend ordering the season packets for the Smoked Salmon Chowder. We ate this during the festival and bought several packets. So you know what we are having for dinner tonight!”
“Had to end our trip here with the making of Salmon Chowder, wow it was yummy. Used some of our salmon from LaPush, WA. Have to give the meal a five star rating and plan on serving this dish to the family on Christmas Eve. We generally have oyster stew but this year Salmon Chowder all the way baby.”
Thank you again Ellis Ranch for your kind words! We hope to become your year-round friend! Happy Holidays!
