Looking for deep color, firm texture, and a clean, full flavor packed with omega-3s? Wild Alaskan sockeye salmon delivers all of it.
Sockeye is the fish most people picture when they hear "red salmon." Its signature deep red-orange flesh comes from a natural diet of krill and small ocean plankton, and its lean, firm structure holds up beautifully on the grill, in the oven, or in a hot pan.
Our sockeye is wild caught across Alaska's cold, clean waters, where the fish grow strong in the open ocean before returning to their home rivers each summer. That active life is what gives sockeye its dense texture and rich store of nutrients, including omega-3s along with selenium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, and vitamins B and D.
We catch, process, and flash freeze in Alaska to lock in that structure and flavor at their peak. Vacuum sealing and flash freezing stop ice crystals from forming, so the fish you thaw tastes just as it did the day it left the water. Sealed portions keep in the freezer for up to two years as long as the vacuum seal stays intact, and our 4oz and 6oz cuts stack easily, so you can stock up and cook one portion at a time.
Wild Alaskan sockeye is as easy to cook as it is to love. Whether you're a seasoned cook or trying salmon at home for the first time, this is a fish that makes you look good.
OUR FISH SOURCE
Our sockeye 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.

Serves: 6 sliders
- 6 portions of salmon, pin bones and skin removed
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons sweet relish
- 8 slider rolls (or dinner rolls)
- ½ cup shredded lettuce
Testing Note: If you buy one pound of salmon and then remove the skin, you will have less salmon by weight, hence the possible variation in yield of number of pieces, serving sizes as noted in recipe.
Makes 6-8 sliders
Instructions
Season the salmon fillets with salt and spray lightly with oil.
To make tartar sauce, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice and sweet relish.
Spray a nonstick frying pan lightly with canola oil and preheat the pan over moderately high heat.
Place the salmon pieces in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes.
Turn each piece over and cook for about another 2 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through. (NOTE: Cooking time can vary depending on size and thickness of each piece.)
Spread a bit of tartar sauce on each roll, top each with a piece of salmon and some shredded lettuce.
ASK YOUR FISHMONGER
How big are the portion sizes?
Each frozen portion is generally 4-6 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.
