Looking for bold flavor, natural Omega-3s, vibrant deep-red color, firm texture, and exceptional nutrition? Wild Alaskan sockeye salmon delivers on every level.
Unlike farmed salmon, wild sockeye spend their lives swimming freely through the cold, pristine waters of the North Pacific and Alaska. Their active lifestyle develops firm, meaty fillets with a rich, robust flavor that has made sockeye one of the most sought-after salmon species by chefs and seafood lovers around the world. U.S. wild-caught sockeye salmon is also sustainably managed under some of the world's strictest fisheries regulations.
The healthy fat found in wild sockeye salmon provides naturally occurring Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), while the fish is also an excellent source of high-quality protein, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, potassium, and many other essential nutrients that support a healthy lifestyle.
Sockeye salmon's signature deep-red color comes naturally from its diet of krill and other tiny marine organisms that are rich in astaxanthin—a powerful natural antioxidant. The result is a beautiful fillet with outstanding color, exceptional taste, and impressive nutritional value.
We catch, process, and flash freeze our fish in Alaska to preserve its firm texture, fresh flavor, and valuable nutrients. Flash freezing minimizes the formation of large ice crystals, helping maintain the natural quality of the fish. Our vacuum-sealed fillets are ready whenever you are, offering the same premium eating experience months after harvest as they do on the day they were processed.
Our frozen salmon fillets can last up to two years when kept properly frozen and the vacuum seal remains intact. Whether you're preparing a healthy family dinner, meal prepping for the week, or serving guests, these premium fillets are an easy way to bring the taste of wild Alaska to your table.
Cooking wild Alaskan sockeye salmon is simple. Its naturally firm texture makes it ideal for grilling, baking, pan-searing, broiling, or air frying. With just a few simple seasonings, you'll enjoy a flavorful, healthy meal that's worthy of any seafood restaurant.
OUR FISH SOURCE
Our keta salmon is caught exclusively by small boat Alaskan fishermen in the Prince William Sound fishing district outside of Cordova, Alaska.
The men and women in our fleet are dedicated to the best handling practices, such as bleeding every fish immediately after it comes out of the water, using slushed ice or refrigerated sea water to minimize the pressure on the meat and keeping their fishholds at 32 – 36 degrees Fahrenheit to maximize the shelf life of the product while they transport and deliver their catch to our processor.

FROZEN GUARANTEE
Frozen shipments are shipped with ample dry ice to sustain the shipment duration. Frozen products need to be put in the refrigerator for immediate consumption or in the freezer for future use shortly after delivery. The dry ice is sublimating during the shipping process so your shipment may arrive with no ice left in the box, but it is good and safe to consume as long as it remains frozen.

ASK YOUR FISHMONGER
Why is Copper River keta salmon more expensive than regular keta?
Copper River is one of the longest, fastest, coldest river systems in Alaska. That 300-mile upstream battle against glacial currents forces Keta to build significantly more fat reserves and muscle tone than Keta from easier rivers. The result? Firmer texture, richer flavor, and better overall quality.
The fish are harvested by small boat fishermen, each one picked from the net, by hand. There are no mass fishing boats allowed in the district. The fishery is a poster child for quality and sustainability, unlike many fisheries around the globe where fish stocks are drained.
The fishing fleet is less than 500 boats, all of which undergo specific training and protocols for how to properly handle each fish after catch with particular bleeding and slush-ice storage methods.
Fishing for Copper River salmon is an art form. The technique has not changed much over centuries, which is becoming more and more rare as working waterfronts collapse due to mismanagement - something you do not need to worry about when sourcing from the Copper River.
How big are the portion sizes?
Each frozen portion is generally 6 oz. Depending on how hungry you are, you can get 1-2 servings per portion.
Our whole sides of salmon are around 1-2 lbs each.
Our minced salmon and halibut cheeks and chop are 1-pound packages. Our smoked salmon is 4 oz or 6.5 oz. Check each product for exact weight details. Depending on how hungry you are, you can get 1-2 servings per portion.
Why is the fish frozen? That's not how it looks in the grocery store case.
Flash freezing fish right after catch is the only way to preserve its quality. Fish in general have very short shelf life. They start to spoil right out of the water. Bringing fish from Alaska to the Lower 48 without freezing can negatively affect the appearance, structure and taste.
It's a seasonal fish so you need to stock up in the summer to enjoy it year-round. Beware the thawed piece of wild Alaskan fish for sale! As your butcher if it was previously frozen and how long it’s been thawed.
Flash frozen is actually the freshest way to go!
Who do I support when I buy your fish?
Small boat fishermen in south Central Alaska, our processors in Cordova and Anchorage and our family in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.

Meet your Fishmongers
With 17+ years living in Cordova, Alaska, owners Adra and Juro built relationships directly with local fishermen and ran seafood processing operations, giving us the inside perspective most seafood companies simply don't have.
We hand-pick each fish from trusted boats, then partner with elite processor Copper River Seafoods (where Juro worked for 13 years) to ensure every fillet is perfectly cut, flash-frozen within hours, and vacuum-sealed to lock in peak freshness for up to two years.
While there's a myth that "never frozen" is best, the truth is unless you live on the Alaska coast, our flash-frozen fillets will taste fresher than anything that's been shipped fresh for days. We guarantee that our proven boat-to-box process delivers the quality consistency you deserve, with the personal expertise you can trust.
