Alaskan Foods

EVERY PLACE IN THE WORLD HAS ITS OWN CULINARY SPECIALTY. They'reoften related to the foods that grow there naturally (such as cod fish in

Newfoundland) or brought throughout history (such as potatoes in Ireland). Manycultures developed exquisite foods through necessity (such as delicious organ meatdishes in France) or seemingly by pure luck (beers and wines everywhere.)

So it's a traveller's treat to experience the foods traditionally made and eaten there.You can learn a deeper appreciation for the local culture if you're willing to eatoutside of your comfort zone. It's one of the great reasons to travel and can free youfrom prejudices you didn't even know you had!

Modern Alaskan Food Specialties

SO WHAT DO MODERN ALASKAN EAT? Everything, of course. In this age of easytransportation urban Alaskans enjoy the same selection of goods that you know fromyour own supermarket. But they also have access to fresh specialties that are

uniquely Alaska!

Here at Alaska Wild Berry Products, our favorites are the amazing wild berries.Some of our berries might be familiar to you like our wild blueberries (smaller andsweeter than the blueberries you can buy) and wild cranberries (which we call highbush cranberries). We also enjoy salmonberries which look like raspberries but areyellow or orange and have a completely different flavor. Don't miss the deliciousmossberries (also called crowberries,) lingonberries (also called low bushcranberries,) and watermelon berries.

All of these are used for homemade berry jams and berry jellies. And of course wealso use them here to make our famous Wild Berry Jelly Center Chocolates. To

learn more about Alaskan berries, see the Berries We Use.

Alaska's cold water seafood is the centerpiece of Alaskan cuisine. Alaskan salmonis one of the most important foods here and is often served as smoked salmon, curedsalmon, salmon jerky, and even sweetened indian salmon candy. The Alaskan salmonand halibut fishing industry brings tourists from all over the world, but it's probablythe Alaskan King Crab that most people think of first. Unlike the smaller dungeness orblue crabs found in the lower 48 states, a single Alaskan King Crab can easily feed awhole hungry family.

Alaska hunters enjoy bagging large game animals such as moose, caribou, elk,or bear. You might not be familiar with those meats but they form the basis of many

people's daily protein, especially for people who live outside of the main cities.

And of course there are the famous reindeer. Many people know reindeer havebeen an important food source in Alaska but did you know they are not native?Reindeer were brought to Alaska from Siberia starting in 1892. The idea was toprovide a new food industry for Native Alaskans whose whaling grounds were runningdry. Reindeer is no longer a major source of meat but can still be enjoyed in the formof commercially available sausage.

Sourdough bread is so popular that the word "sourdough" is slang for a person wholives in Alaska! This started during the Klondike Gold Rush when everyone kept a potof sourdough starter in their kitchens. By "feeding" the starter with a little new flour

every few days they kept the wild yeast alive and thriving so they could bake breadwhenever they wanted. It's said people would even bring the pot to bed on coldnights to keep it from freezing!

differently from people in warmer climates. Seal meat and oil was important, aswere whales, walrus, fish, and birds. Since the climate is so cold, it was importantto eat plenty of fats and oils to help keep warm. Seal and whale blubber might notsound appetizing but they can be real life savers when it's 40 degrees below zero!

As you might imagine, there were not very many plant foods available. Some that

were or still are important are "negaasget", "uutngungsaat", "iitat", "marallat", and"mouse food" which are different roots cooked in soup. All sorts of berries are alsogathered, as are the soft inner bark of the birch tree, and "ayuq" which is a plantwhich can be made into a kind of tea.

Fermentation was sometimes used as a preservation technique. Stinkhead andstinkeggsare preserved salmon heads and roe made by wrapping them in grassesand burying for several weeks, similar to Swedish lutefisk. The results are veryunpleasant for non-natives to eat but is an important source of nutrition when food isscarce and considered a treat in the villages.

Fish, moose and caribou are also preserved by drying. Often, the dried meat isdipped in seal oil.

Eskimo Ice Cream (also known as "akutaq") is a fancy name for a hearty dishyou probably haven't heard of. Natives used to make this unusual dish by whippingthe fat of hunted reindeer, seals, or bears, then adding snow and wild native berries.Sugar wasn't available then but it would probably be a nice addition. Nowadays it ismade with crisco and is mixed with berries, mouse food, dried meat, and othervegetables depending on what is available.

Many thanks to Marty Baston and his children who helped us learn about these foods.
