Tinned fish is ready to enjoy right from the can. We love smoked salmon blended with cream cheese and smothered on a bagel. The smoked octopus is a real treat with a squeeze of lemon and added to a Greek Salad. Find more ideas for getting fancy with tinned fish on our recipes page.

Wild Alaska Salmon Share


Our frozen wild salmon is available to folks across the United States with UPS Next Day Air Shipping. Your purchase directly supports our small boat. Our harvest is variable during the season and frozen salmon boxes will sell out fast. When salmon becomes available, it will be announced on instagram and in our email newsletter.


Frozen wild salmon has an incredible shelf life! Frozen fish will keep well in your freezer for up to nine months. Our fish is immediately flash frozen within hours after harvest, once thawed - you’ll experience a piece of good fish that tastes as good as the day we hauled it out of the ocean.


Wild salmon should be thawed under refrigeration.


Pin bones are normal and present in each portion. When a salmon is filleted, there are a small set of pin bones that are left in the fillet. A set of pliers or tweezers works great for removing the pin bones. We've also found that ensuring the fillet is fully thawed helps make removing a bit easier.


Yes, our salmon has been flash frozen and is healthy and delicious for recipes like sushi, poke, and lox. 100% safe to enjoy raw.


Yes! We're excited to offer the fish we caught this summer shipped straight to your front door throughout the winter.
