Never have tried that...
Those are hooligan, AKA "candlefish."

Indigenous communities of the Pacific Coast from California to Alaska made eulachon an important part of their diet, as well as a valuable trade item with peoples whose territories did not include spawning rivers. The species was caught using traps, rakes, and nets. The harvest continues today, with other residents taking part in the exploitation of the large runs.

When they're all smoked, I put them in pint jars and pressure cook them.
The final product is quite tasty.

I'd never seen airstairs on a non-commuter plane at a major US airport until last weekend, when my EWR-SEA flight used them. I assume it was due to a gate shortage at the N satellite. The weather was lovely; it was a nice change of pace.

So I got a call today from someone high up in the feeding chain at AS ( will not use their name or position). Like the old days they are giving lists to various staff members of high mileage traveler asking if there is anything they can do for us! Interesting conversation food seems to be the number one complaint, now why doesn't that surprise me.
Anyway thank you As we're going to the old days.

I'll take the hike to Troutdale hands down to waiting in the A pit at PDX. I will also take the C Gate cluster in SEA over the A pit. Not enough ventilation in the A pit.
