SITKA, ALASKA (2011-03-03) A pilot program to serve locally-caught seafood in Sitka’s middle school is gaining momentum. Organizers are modeling the project on “farm-to-schools” efforts in the lower forty-eight. As KCAW’s Robert Woolsey reports, the target audience seems to be eating it up.
Sitka’s fish-to-schools program launched in January, and is aiming to serve locally-caught seafood twice a month at Blatchley Middle School for the rest of the year.
I showed up in school a couple of days after February’s fish lunch. Luckily, this guy at the front of the line had both a discerning palate and a sharp memory. His name is Zak Wright.
“I think it was great. One of the best lunches I’ve ever had."
