The Facts About
Puyallup and Sumner County Food
Known for its exquisite natural beauty‚ the Pacific Northwest is home to cuisine that’s no less spectacular. Whether you’re talking seafood or one of the region’s many local wines‚ fresh ingredients are key.
Fresh fish and seafood are featured on countless restaurant menus along the coast and throughout the region‚ and salmon is one of the favorites. This fish is prepared in a variety of ways‚ including the traditional smoked style.
With clean‚ cold waters in many bays and estuaries‚ ports in this region also turn out oysters‚ shrimp‚ crab‚ halibut‚ flounder‚ tuna‚ cod‚ pollock‚ mussels and clams in abundance. A combination of climate and abundant irrigation has helped make the Northwest one of the nation’s major fruit-growing regions‚ which naturally influences the cuisine. Apples‚ pears‚ cherries‚ strawberries‚ raspberries and blackberries show up often in local dishes‚ creating a regional Northwest cooking style that can be distinguished by pairings of meats and seafood with local fruits‚ nuts‚ mushrooms and truffles.
