Copper River Salmon run is in progress

Here in Seattle, the first market outside of Alaska to receive Copper River salmon and in particular ... the King and Sockeye ... the fish arrived on Monday. This annual harvest is a huge marketing opportunity for restaurants across the USA to feature this delectable fish.
Pinot Noir producers are pretty darn happy too, as nothing pairs like Pinot and Salmon ... or do you have other favorites?
I also am a big fan of Blanc de Noir Champagne, Pinot Gris, Cru Classe Beaujolais and Chablis. This year I will also try German Riesling and Alsatian Riesling and Pinot Gris too.
What are your favorites?
BTW, also seek out the even better, Yukon River King Salmon that appear towards the end of the Copper River run. The Yukon River Kings are the greatest Salmon period and hold the record for the highest fat content for any Salmon.
