KODIAK, Alaska — Kodiak is showing some of France's most renowned chefs how we harvest seafood around the island — and how we love to cook it.
Along for the experience are journalists writing for French food publications who will take home stories of their time in Alaska.
The trip is organized as part of the international outreach of the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, a $7.5 million per year endeavor to increase the value of Alaska seafood products abroad.
On Tuesday in Kodiak, the French party boarded the fishing vessel Arctic Hunter to learn more about the scallop industry. They then were treated to a reception that featured cuisine by chef Joel Chenet and allowed the group to meet local fishing interests and community leaders.
