If youโre like most people, the first place your mind goes when itโs time to dream up Fatherโs Day gifts is outside, in the general direction of the grill. And if the dad in question is like most dads, he already has his fair share of tongs, trays, tools and toys. Hereโs an idea: How about something that actually gets cooked on the grill? Like, for instance, a box of wild, sustainably-sourced, sockeye salmon from Alaskaโs pristine Bristol Bay? A few weeks ago, an Alaskan fisherman named Matt emailed me about his new company,ย Wild Alaska Directย which delivers boneless meal-size portions of premium sockeye anywhere in the US with free shipping. (If that didnโt sell me, his P.S. about being a gin-and-tonic soulmate certainly did.) Anyway, Matt was nice enough to offer an exclusive Fatherโs Day giveaway contest for DALS readers: A 5-pound box of fillet portions, delivered right to one lucky winnerโs door. Thatโs six dinners for two, twelve single portions, or a dinner for you and 11 of your closest friends. How fun is that? To be eligible, all you have to do is comment below. Contest ends Sunday, June 5 at 8:00 ET. (Update: The winner has been notified. Thank you all for playing!)
