It's been a stormy stretch for our tiny coastal home, howling winds and heavy weather holding tight as the seasons shift and the light's been changing.
December is rolling in cold and frosty, and this week the weather took a turn for freezing temperatures making the glacier lake smooth and glassy, perfect for ice skating between the massive chunks of blue ice. The past few nights have been such clear skies and we've been ending our days watching the northern lights brush over the mountains.
We're slowly shifting into hibernation season, slowing our pace from the acceleration of summer.
We've put together this list of good things as we lean into winter. Gifts we love giving and what's cooking in our kitchen this cold season. Thank you for shopping with us and with other small business folks, the support keeps us all afloat.
Cheers, Nelly & Michael
Gift a Box of Fish
Direct to your door Wild Alaska salmon, carefully caught onboard our small boat. Each box is packed with premium quality, hand cut salmon in conveniently packaged flash frozen portions that taste as fresh as the day we harvested your fish out of the ocean.
Rugged Seas Tote
Made for the boat, beach, or anywhere you want to take it. The waterproof base means it can be dropped anywhere without getting the contents soaked because it’s made from recycled bibs worn by hardworking fishermen. We love the good work these guys are doing upcycling worn out gear into usable totes.
Cedar Planks
Ready to take outside and make something delicious over a smoky campfire or your backyard grill. As your fish slowly cooks, it becomes infused with the smoky, woodsy fragrance of Pacific Northwest cedar.
Seaweed Pantry Essentials
A 4-pack of seaweed flakes and seasonings in a festive gift box! The ultimate combo for the seaweed lover to add flavorful, nutrient-packed seasonings to their cooking and pantry.

Drifters Dish
The perfect handmade vessel that drifts between a bowl and plate, shallow in all the right places to hold all the flavors. Each ceramic dish is hand crafted in Seattle and is stamped with a Know Your Fisherman seal at the base.
Sugar Kelp Soy Sauce
This seasonal variety of soy sauce adds layers of complexity and umami with hints of ocean coupled with nutty, grassy undertones. Excellent with fish!
Cozy Wool Hat
Our hats are handmade with light navy wool with an adjustable brown leather strap for the perfect fit. Warm and durable to keep your head cozy this winter.

Tinned Fish Kit
Treat your friends to a Tinned Fish feast! Featuring a selection of our smoked wild salmon and Alaska seaweed flakes, this gift box includes a handmade serving board. All of our favorite ocean flavors are ready to enjoy right from the box.
Make Wild Salmon Gravlox Together
Gravlax is a traditional way of preserving fish from Scandinavia. A simple salt & sugar cure covering a piece of wild salmon is all it takes.
Gravlax celebrates the fish with its brilliant color, delicate texture, and rich flavor, making for a delicious addition to any meal. During the holidays, our family makes a big batch together and enjoys it for breakfast or as an afternoon appetizer with soft cheese and rye bread.
