U.S. Senator Mark Begich continues his battle for the acceptance of Alaska Seafood. He has had to fight the issue on several separate fronts.
This week Begich objected to a recent halibut-maligning pizza advertisement for Domino’s Pizza that claimed that no innovative ideas ever came about over a meal of halibut, and showing a man spitting out the halibut he was eating. The senator sent CEO J. Patrick Doyle some Alaska halibut to taste from New Sagaya’s midtown market in Anchorage, and encouraged Domino’s to stop being “halibut-haters” and their CEO to “get onboard with the nutritious, delicious, Alaska seafood. ”
Doyle responded with a twitter showing his new-found appreciation for Alaska seafood. He wore an “I heart Halibut” shirt, and posed with a forkful of halibut, and of course a pizza box.
