Caviar & Roe
In the cold pristine waters of Alaska, fish develop naturally with a superior flavor and texture. These remarkable fish also produce top quality roes that are used to make caviar prized the world over. Long favored by the Japanese, salmon ikura, or lightly salted individual eggs, is now popular in the United States and other countries. Salmon sujiko, or salted eggs in skeins, is also popular in specialty markets, as are herring roe, hering roe on kelp and cod rod. Wards Cove pioneered the salmon caviar industry in Alaska and is now the leading producer. Our plants are strategically located near all of the major salmon harvesting areas ensuring that we receive fish at the perfect maturity and absolute freshness. Each plant adheres to strict HACCP and FDA guidelines. The company also maintains complete labs for thorough testing of every lot of caviar.

As an Alaska commercial fisherman, I realize that our salmon is the best tasting stuff on earth. But, we're experiencing a soft market right now, and having a tough time catching the attention of the American consumer because of a glut of poor quality farmed fish, and simple lack of awareness.A friend of mine says the plant in the photograph is a Japanese maple leaf.
I don't smoke dope, but do know what the plant looks like. If is it being used here... wow! Whatever works.
Any pot leaf experts out there to confirm or de-bunk this assertion?
Thanks in advance.
Eat wild salmon.

I lived in Hiroshima for a year, and that looks very much like the maple leaves I saw on Miyajima

Man you've got a rough job...from what I've seen and heard, commercial fishing in Alaska is quite dangerous. I agree with you that farmed salmon just plain sucks, and it is usualy Atlantic salmon, sorry mr fish, wrong ocean...
That leaf in the picture looks like a leaf from Japanese Maple.

I'm a collector of japanese maples and the leaf in the picture resembles a type of maple called Acer palmatum 'Matsumurae'. I'm sure it's not pot.

If the leaf in your picture is Marijuana, I've got a tree in my yard I'd like to sell you because its a lot more valuable than I thought. That leaf is Japanese maple--entirely appropriate for an ad on Japanese foods.
