Every summer Cordova’s population swells with young idealists, opportunists and stragglers hoping to make a mint canning salmon on 16-hour shifts.
Whether you’re curious about the effects of sleep deprivation on adventurous teenagers or just want to see how some of the finest salmon in the world is processed, ask at the chamber of commerce about canneries offering tours. You can watch your own catch get processed at Prime Select Seafoods , a smaller-scale operation that packs salmon and ships it to your home.
