ASMI crowns fish taco people’s choice winner

The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute on Wednesday announced Lauren Wyler as the winner of its Alaska Fish Taco People’s Choice Award.

Wyler, of Austin, Texas, beat 19 other contestants to claim the award with her Alaska Jerk Fish Tacos with Maple Mango Slaw. Wyler’s prize was an Apple iPad 2.

“Fish and shellfish have always been a large part of my diet, and always my first choice,” said Wyler. “After Hurricane Katrina my husband and I moved to San Diego and that was the first time I had a fish taco in a little dive bar in Encinitas right down the street from the beach. I then proceeded to eat a fish taco at every restaurant we went to while living out there.”

The contest was part of the first-ever Wild Alaska Fish Taco Recipe Contest and was judged by celebrity chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, then subjected to a month-long voting period hosted on Facebook.
