News...    sponsored by      In this photo taken July 22, residents line the beach along the Kenai River in Kenai, Alaska, to dipnet. Alaskans are creative when it comes to using pounds and pounds of fresh, smoked and canned salmon. There are salmon tacos, salmon souffle and salmon salad sandwiches. There is salmon loaf, salmon chowder and salmon jerky. There are smoked salmon cheeseballs, smoked salmon strips and salmon pasta salad. You get the idea. Alaskans love their salmon.
