When JIM CAPELLEN of Astoria recently visited his daughter and son-in-law, Jenni and Anil Kothavale, and his two grandchildren, in Calabasas, Calif., they went to dinner at King’s Fish House restaurant in Calabasas.

The menu is huge, and right smack in the middle, prominently featured in the “Today’s Regional Specials” section, were YOUNGS BAY SALMON, pictured above. “Our journey continues with cohos netted in Youngs Bay at the mouth of the Columbia River,” the menu says. “Special thanks go out to the crews of THOR SEPPA’S PREDATOR and BILL IVANOFF’S FIN POWER for landing these silvers in one hour ‘short-sets.’ Fishing in this manner ensures the best possible handling of these nutrient rich and flavorful fish.”

The Ear has been to Calabasas, and thinks it’s a pretty unlikely place to find Youngs River salmon. That being said, Capellen’s daughter went shopping the next day at her local Gelson’s Market, and what did she find? You guessed it … more Youngs River salmon.
