Planner Spotlight : Rising Tide Communications

When Rising Tide Communications came to town to host a group of culinary media professionals and chefs , Sitka ’ s local food scene embraced them with open arms . While restaurant-hopping in Sitka , the group sampled local cuisine from a variety of our downtown restaurants . They even bought fresh seafood , including local delicacies like spot prawns and salmon , directly from the fisherman who caught them . Attendees met with harvesters who taught them how to sustainably collect ingredients from Sitka ’ s waters and temperate rainforest . From sea asparagus , to beach greens , to berries , they tasted everything Sitka ’ s natural environment had to offer . The group also visited downtown shops like our local salt company , which sources water straight from Sitka Sound to create unique flake salt that ’ s flavored with spruce and blueberries found in the Tongass National Forest .
