SEATTLE (AP) - Copper River salmon arrived at SeaTac Airport early Friday morning.

The arrival of fresh Copper River king and sockeye salmon is a rite of spring in Seattle where the fish are prized for their flavor. They typically bring the highest prices at restaurants and fish markets.

KOMO reports several Alaska Airlines flights from Cordova, Alaska, delivered thousands of pounds of salmon to the market, where it will then be delivered to restaurants and grocery stores across the country.
