nnie Watts and a film crew climb aboard a small commercial fishing vessel, motoring down the Alberni Inlet as daylight wanes, ready for some night fishing. Some of those aboard the vessel, new to the Alberni Valley, are amazed to see dolphins during their trip. Others, like director/ producer Ian Toews, were thrust into action, reeling in nets as Watts caught fresh salmon. Watts and her mother, Dolly McRae—both accomplished chefs and cookbook authors— will create a traditional salmon feast over an open fire with those fish on an episode of
Untamed Gourmet next week. The episode, debuting on the Aboriginal People’s Television Network (APTN) on Tuesday, Sept. 17, follows the two chefs as they gather ingredients to prepare a feast together, cooking over an open fire. “We went on a salmon fishing trip at night with Annie,” said Untamed Gourmet director and producer Ian Toews, describing the show as a documenting of the process of hunting, gathering and eating food. “And we went out with Dolly to gather wild fruits and berries,” he said. McRae brought them to areas around the Alberni Valley to gather wild crab apples, cherries and kelp for her dishes. Continued / A3
