Salmon Patties and Octopus Dip

Background

The Kitchen did something a little different for this video and welcomed a couple of special guests: Barney and Marvin "Big Shot" Mack, Elder brothers originally from King Cove, Alaska. Melissa, the Kitchen's project manager, joined them as their sous chef, helping them create delicious salmon patties and an octopus dip. Not only was the food amazing, but the experience of creating this video was just as memorable. We are so grateful to Barney and Marvin for sharing their knowledge, stories, and traditional foods with us.
