Seattle Picnic Baskets

What's in Seattle picnic baskets? For those of us lucky enough to live in the Northwest, we have the chance to take advantage of many of the local flavors and specialties unique to our region. There's no better time to take advantage of these foods than during the Summer when the weather is finally nice after months of rain and clouds. But you don't have to live in Seattle to enjoy the same flavors as many specialty foods are shipped out to many cities. Even if they aren't there are a huge variety of substitutes in your local shops, no doubt.

If the Northwest is known for anything besides Grunge music, it's known for salmon. The salmon river runs are a big part of the Summer in Seattle and fresh salmon is delicious. However, the best tasting salmon is salmon that's been smoked. Many companies all over the United States do this as well and it is delicious. Served cold or warm, it's a fantastic treat and perfect for a picnic because it packs so much flavor in such a small bite. Salmon on bread with cheese, in a salad, or by itself are all great choices.

If there's something else the Northwest is starting to become known for, it's wine. Many baskets now come with wine caddies that protect and hold your wine. Additionally, many include convenient glasses that neatly fit into your case. With these amenities, there's no excuse not to purchase a great bottle of Northwest red or white to enjoy with your picnicking.
