WOW!  Lucky fans who attend the gathering at Ray’s Food Place will get to sit back and catch an early viewing of the next eppy of ‘Deadliest Catch’ in a theater!  Lucky Oregonians!

Harris will appear at Ray’s Food Place, 621 Hickory St. N.W., in the North Albany Village from 4 to 7 p.m. to sign autographs and promote his Captain’s Reserve Coffee.

Following that, Harris will host a viewing of “The Deadliest Catch” for selected fans at the Venetian Theater, 241 First Ave. S.W.

“The Deadliest Catch” follows several vessels during their crab fishing season on the Bering Sea.

Captain Sig Gets Saucey!

The Hansens of the F/V Northwestern–long time featured fishermen from Discovery’s ‘Deadliest Catch’, and Puget Sound Foods recently put their heads together and came up with a great sounding line of sauces to accompany a variety of seafood!  “The Hansen’s goal is to market fish.  These new versatile Seafood Sauces are just a natural fit.”  When and where the sauces will be available has yet to be announced however, you can be sure to get that information from the Northwestern website soon.

Captain Sig Sauces

CAPTAIN SIG TALKS SAUCE: “Shut up & Dip”
“We eat lots of fish sticks and there is always lots of our Tartar Sauce around
the table…it’s good! We also love to eat Shrimp and use lots of our Cocktail
Sauce (It’s good for making Bloody Mary’s too)!
We’re on a fishing boat not a luxury liner and you need to learn how to improvise.
The Tastiest Catch Sauce is great on any seafood and beyond.
I can barely leave the dock with out Sea Horseradish sauce for my crew….
it’s a must have.

It’s really fun for us to do this venture and share these sauces with you.
But I know at the end of the day, I’m still a Jack Ass.”

Rogue’s Deadliest Ale availability…

Several months ago Rogue announced it would be coming out with a brew called Deadliest Ale, and in October it sent out an official press release with it’s description, availability, and properties.  Unfortunately for most fans, the ale would only be available along the west & east coast of the U.S. and Norway…

Captain Sig’s Deadliest Ale will be available in Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Northern California, Maine, Massachusetts, the Gulfs of Florida and Texas, Canada, and Norway.

Good news now though!  …For those of us too far away to simply drive up and buy a couple of pints of this ‘deadly’ brew, there’s a website that will ship it out.  You can try your luck at Liquidgratitude .  No doubt there’s other websites that will ship as well but finding it in stock is tricky these days.  …Great looking bottle!

Wanted Dead or Alive: Rogue’s Deadliest Ale

Rogue's 'Deadliest Ale' label

 Captain Sig’s Deadliest Ale from Rogue sounds interesting, doesn’t it?  Finding it though, may be like trying to track down crab pots lost under winter pack-ice, in the Bering sea…

Captain Sig himself, was seen hauling in a load of the elusive ‘deadliest’ brew, on to the Northwestern for a festive get-together during Seattle’s Sea Fair last month, but when fans contacted Rogue to get information about availability on the obvious collectible, the response was less then clear.  There apparently was a short run of the brute ale, but that was it.  There may also be more coming out but not now, maybe October…

So ‘Deadliest Catch’ fans, keep an eye out for ‘Deadliest Ale’ and give us a shout out here at Deadliest Reports if you spot what looks to be the perfect brew to serve up when watching ’Deadliest Catch’ marathons this coming winter!

Xbox, Coffee, and Beer in the works for the Hansens…

You may have already heard plenty about the Xbox 360 Deadliest Catch game soon coming out in June with a pc version as well, but did you know that Sig, Edgar, and Norman Hansen of the Northwestern also have their own line of coffee in the works, and beer as well?  Mike Ferreri, of Komo tv news recently spoke with Sig Hansen and reports details on the projects….

SEATTLE — Bering Sea crab fishermen are riding a wave of popularity with the success of the Discovery Channel’s hit show “Deadliest Catch.”

One crew from Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood is converting its new-found fame into all sorts of business possibilities.

Members of the Hansen family have been braving the dangerous Bering Sea and crab fishing for decades. Now, thanks to reality TV, they’ve turned a deadly job into their luckiest catch.

In an occupation where half the luck is finding the crab and the other half is living to tell about it, Sig Hansen and his crew have been one of the best.

“It’s like a gamble. Fishing is a gamble,” said Hansen. “If you don’t like it, get the hell off.”

With another crab season behind them, the captain and his crew are back in Ballard for the summer.

“We’ve got a good team ,good guys. That’s why we do so well and we come back every season.. alive,” said Hansen.

The crew members are working on their boat, the F/V Northwestern, and soaking up the fame they’ve gained on the TV show.

“I’m more than amazed. Didn’t think it would snowball to this extent but why not, man? It’s fun,” said the captain.

Four years ago, Hansen agreed to let cameras on board for a crab season. Now he’s one of the most popular fisherman in the world and he’s cashing in.

“What helps us sell us is because we are who we are and I think people dig it,” said Hansen.

The crew has signed a clothing deal with Helly Hansen.

“We’ve got our own brand own, little logo. Those guys are helping us drive that market. It’s great,” Hansen said.

And there’s a line of coffee.

“It’s a part of our life, man, for me. It’s coffee, cigarettes and chocolate. The coffee is a natural fit,” said Hansen.
