What the creator captured
Danny Kim experienced the grueling reality of commercial fishing, enduring seasickness and equipment failure to catch the elusive Copper River King salmon. He learned that the fish's high price is driven by its extreme fat content and the massive overhead costs fishermen face, such as $250,000 licenses. His journey concluded with a firsthand look at how cutting out middlemen ensures both better pay for fishermen and higher quality for consumers.
