Scene in Edmonds: Holiday market returns for another season
Posted: November 6, 2021 1340
How about some troll-caught salmon for dinner? Perennial market favorite Wilson Fish is back with their selection of quality seafood.
Chucky from One Son Wood Carvings brings his selection of hand-carved wooden bowls, platters and other items.
The threatening skies of early morning did nothing to deter market-goers. And persistence paid off – by noon the sun had broken through.

Late-season produce overflows from vendor tables.
It’s not too early to pick up a new tree ornament or two. Metalwing Studios specializes in one-of-a-kind enameled bird ornaments.
And who doesn’t appreciate the gift of chocolate? D’Love’s specializes in handmade truffles using locally sourced flavorings.
Any child would be thrilled to find this classic pedal fire truck as a holiday gift. Once again, the Edmonds Historical Museum is raffling off this children’s classic with proceeds going to support establishing a fire museum in Edmonds. Tickets are $2, and will be on sale during holiday market Saturdays.
Food vendors offer cuisine to please all palettes — from warming hot beverages to spicy Indian fare to Indonesian pancit to New York style hot dogs complete with fried onions.
Gifts for the sports fan abound, with hats, scarves, and even desk ornaments honoring your favorite local teams.
And don’t forget Fido at the holidays! Bandanas, cozy jackets, fancy collars and more could make it a very special holiday for your four-legged companion.
The Edmonds Holiday Market is back, with more than 70 vendors offering craft booths, late-season produce, fresh meat and seafood, flowers, wine and coffee tasting, and a selection of hot and tasty street food to please every palette.
The morning rain and wind of opening day soon gave way to partly sunny skies, and the aisles were filled to capacity with shoppers searching for that one-of-a-kind gift for special someone – or themselves.
Located along 5th Avenue South between Main Street and Centennial Plaza and up Bell Street to 6th Avenue, the Holiday Market will operate from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on five more Saturdays: Nov. 13 and 20, and Dec. 4, 11 and 18, skipping the Thanksgiving weekend Saturday, Nov. 27.
Check the Holiday Market Facebook Page for updates and special announcements from vendors about what’s new at their stalls.

“Troll” caught salmon? Under a bridge, or on an internet board from some basement room?
Wild salmon caught on a commercial hook and line (troll set up) and killed and processed quickly vs. farm raised or mostly commercially caught gill net harvested fish where they may be dead for a prolonged period of time in the net before being pulled in and processed or dead in the storage area on a boat for a prolonged period . “Troll caught” assumed to be a higher quality product in fish speak.
Most people who are not new here in the Puget Sound region know what the term “troll caught” means, but a little education is never a bad thing, thanks to Clinton for that info.

Thank you Clinton!
Here’s what I found —
“Trolling is used to catch pelagic fish such as salmon, mackerel and kingfish.
Trolling is used both for recreational and commercial fishing whereas trawling is used mainly for commercial fishing.”
