Skuna Bay salmon will be the “Salmon of Choice” at this year’s Kentucky Derby “Run for the Roses” in May.
Officials from Churchill Downs Racetrack sampled some of the Skuna Bay seafood in late 2012. The company’s salmon will remain the racetrack’s choice for the next two years. During that time, the track will serve Skuna Bay salmon during the derby and year-round.
“We at Skuna Bay are incredibly proud to have been selected as the ‘Salmon of Choice’ for the world’s most well-known, and historic, horse race and venue,” said Dave Mergle, director of Skuna Bay Salmon. “The Kentucky Derby is iconic in sports and culture.”
The company’s salmon will also be on hand at the Taste of Derby, a cook-off competition that occurs a week before the derby at the Kentucky Exposition Center.
