Mary Cole 0 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I have never actually heard or been to an expo until I started following the salmon sisters on Instagram. I followed them because I was looking for what it was like to work on an Alaskan fishing boat because I’m planning to move there. I’m so glad I started following them because they have showed me a side of Alaska that I hadn’t seen before. Link to post Share on other sites
Janelle 0 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 This would have been my first time at the Expo. I'm just starting in commercial fishing (salmon and albacore so far!) and I would have loved the opportunity to learn more about the industry and community. Link to post Share on other sites
IslandHopper 0 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Missing convention this year makes me grateful for all I have been able to do. There is so much goodness surrounding us, its hard to focus on what I am missing out on. Sure, it stinks not being in the city, with all the modern conveniences, good brewery’s, street markets, shopping, and people watching, but in return I have my health.

kimberleyk@roggeco.com 0 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 What I miss about the expo this year, is missing out on the opportunity to see customers at the expo, as well as missing the opportunity to be on the cutting edge of what is new in the industry. The expo is always a fun event to kick off the upcoming season, and it just isn't the same without it. Link to post Share on other sites
Wiel Penders 0 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Missing out this year, actual face to face meetings with customers and friends throughout the industry, demonstrating our Atmospheric Oil mist and Gas Leakage detection system(s). If anyone is interested in learning more about it on how to protect the machinery spaces against potential fires, shoot me an e-mail @ wp@daspos.com We hope to see you all next year again...

lulu 0 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I've tried to go to Expo for the past two years, but haven't been able to. I've heard so much about it from my captain and I was looking forward to finally making it there this year! I guess I'll just have to wait until next year... It sounds like a fun and interesting couple of days! Link to post Share on other sites
cimarinkovich 1 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 My family is big in the commercial fishing industry, so missing out on Fish Expo 2020 is almost missing out on 'family time'. Every year at expo, we travel sometimes hundreds of miles just to make it to the open bar so we can bullshit with our friends and take over the Trident party (maybe they would consider giving us a bigger portion of crab this year... I can't fill up on crab tails and cocktail sauce). I have so many memories just in that part of Seattle and I hold them precious to me, especially now. All we can hope for is a better expo next year, and a good season in 2021! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BLY 2 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The last fish expo my family and I attended was back in 2018. My girls loved everything about it and have since talked about wanting to go back. I think loading up on all the chocolate, pens, hats and even new boots was the highlight of their trip that year. A bonus was for our girls to see their Papa’s boat named after their daddy on one of the displays! 🙂 I hope we will be able to attend another expo in person in the near future! I hope everyone stays safe, and I look forward to checking out the new cookbook from the Salmon Sisters! 🌊 2 Link to post Share on other sites
