SeaChange Salmon Choice of Astronauts

Anne — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:13:00 +0000

SeaChange seems to have a growing clientele who take SeaChange salmon literally out of this world. In the 1990s, two separate missions to the international space station took gold pouches of SeaChange Smoked Sockeye Salmon into space. In 1996, SeaChange Smoked Sockeye Salmon was requested by Astronaut Robert Thirsk to share with an international team of astronauts aboard the space station on Canada Day. Two years later, SeaChange got a take-out call from NASA. After taking part in the 1996 mission, American Astronaut Susan Helms was outbound to the space station again, and experiencing a craving for SeaChange salmon.

SeaChange thought that was the end of it, but 2009 has brought regular calls to the SeaChange order desk from the Canadian Space Agency and NASA. This year’s mission, which included two Canadian Astronauts, Robert Thirsk and Julie Payette, was provisioned with three SeaChange products – SeaChange Smoked Sockeye Salmon, SeaChange Smoked Salmon Pâté, and SeaChange Smoked Salmon Jerky.

Back at SeaChange, it’s business as usual, as the staff are already working hard to get Christmas orders out to customers across Canada. “It sure feels good,” comments SeaChange Partner Anne Millerd, “to look up at the stars on a clear night after work, and imagine those astronauts enjoying a treat from SeaChange.

SeaChange Salmon Jerky Enjoyed by Mountaineers

Anne — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:53:39 +0000

SeaChange has always enjoyed a clientele of kayakers, canoers and climbers in addition to those who buy SeaChange products for gifts. But this year SeaChange was surprised and honoured to be asked to provide 100 packages of its award winning Smoked Salmon Jerky for a mountaineering expedition entitled “Chugach (Alaska) Ski Traverse, 2009″

This is how Expedition leader Ben Stephenson explained the trip beforehand: “We are going to try and ski along the length of the Chugach Range. This range is between Anchorage and Valdez and is the second largest glaciated area in the world, outside of the polar regions, after the Karakoram.”

On his return, Leader Ben emailed SeaChange: “Just back from Alaska after a very successful expedition. We managed to complete the traverse of the Chugach Range in 22 days, a distance of some 200 km over 11 passes… The Salmon Jerky was an absolute winner ! It was the food item that we all looked forward to every day. Towards the end of the trip, we even started saving the jerky till the end of the day, as a special treat with a cup of soup.”
