If youโre like most people, the first place your mind goes when itโs time to dream up Fatherโs Day gifts is outside, in the general direction of the grill. And if the dad in question is like most dads, he already has his fair share of tongs, trays, tools and toys. Hereโs an idea: How about something that actually gets cooked on the grill? Like, for instance, a box of wild, sustainably-sourced, sockeye salmon from Alaskaโs pristine Bristol Bay? A few weeks ago, an Alaskan fisherman named Matt emailed me about his new company,ย Wild Alaska Directย which delivers boneless meal-size portions of premium sockeye anywhere in the US with free shipping. (If that didnโt sell me, his P.S. about being a gin-and-tonic soulmate certainly did.) Anyway, Matt was nice enough to offer an exclusive Fatherโs Day giveaway contest for DALS readers: A 5-pound box of fillet portions, delivered right to one lucky winnerโs door. Thatโs six dinners for two, twelve single portions, or a dinner for you and 11 of your closest friends. How fun is that? To be eligible, all you have to do is comment below. Contest ends Sunday, June 5 at 8:00 ET. (Update: The winner has been notified. Thank you all for playing!)

Truly the best salmon in the world. Ordered from Wild Alaska Direct and was eating grilled salmon two days later. A perfect gift and so special to have on hand for special occasions. Bristol Bay salmon rocks.
I would slather these bad boys in the soy ginger marinade from the Nordstroms Cafe Cookbookโ a family favorite from my mall rat days.
Wow, what a treat! Totally ready to enjoy fresh Alaskan salmon! Thank you!

Every Sunday is โSalmon Sundayโ in our house! Would be the perfect Fathers Day gift!
We are northeasters who grill every weekend of the year. Would love to try out this Alaskan salmon now that itโs finally getting warm here.
My Dad would love this!
We love salmon at our house, especially my almost 3 year old!

Gorgeous fish! Iโd love to give this to my
husband on his very first Fathers Day.
What a great find! So glad to have a source for wild salmon now- Thanks!

I have a meat csa to deliver meat so looks like I may need one to deliver salmon!
What a great gift idea! One of our favorite meals.
That looks delicious! Iโm always complaining about salmon at the store because I grew up in Alaska as a kid and was spoiled by the good stuff!i
Sounds like a great idea -I may look into ordering for Fatherโs Day w(hich would be a gift for all of us).
This would be the next best thing to traveling to Alaska and picking up our own wild salmon!
My husband would love receiving this for Fatherโs Day, but I think my 4-year-old and 18-month-old would love it even more!
Oh yum! My 1 year old can it get enough salmon.
Salmon, yum!
