Brief Note Regarding a Fish

Off from the studio to forage for lunch in Ballard the other day, it turned out there was a Ballard Viking Seafood days festival poring into the streets.

In front of one of the last Scandanavian stronghold businesses in the neighborhood, Olsen's Foods, a group doing a fundraiser had flown in a small truckload of fresh silver salmon from Bristol Bay, for $3 a pound. Awesome, I declared to myself, and ordered me up a silver, toute suite.

Why so cheap? It was a local Christian church group working a fundraiser.

Raising money to fund their missionary work.

In Italy.

Is this thing on?

In their defense, distributing cheap delicious fish does seem genuinely Christian.
