People lining up to judge the entries to Bearfest's first smoked salmon contest.
Friday night saw a smoked salmon contest at city dock beside the Stikine Inn. There were seven entries into the contest, nearly double what chairwoman of the Bearfest board Sylvia Ettefagh was expecting. She said she was happy with the turnout for the event.
"It [the contest] has happened before with other events, but this is the first at Bearfest," she said.
Members of the public were invited to try a piece of smoked salmon from each of the entries and rate them on a scale of one to ten. After everyone was given a chance to judge the salmon, all the scores were collected and added.
The winner of the contest was determined to be entry "C," provided by Iver Nore. First prize was $100. Second place was a tie, given to Arlene Woodward and Matt Gerald.
After the contest, a salmon dinner prepared by Chef Jake Harris, was served at the Stikine Inn.
