For sockeye salmon, the Alaska State Department of Fish and Game monitors all commercial, sport, and residential salmon fishing. This means a set number of permits are sold each season based on predictions of the number of salmon expected to return to spawn. As the salmon move towards the bay, researchers actively monitor their movement and count the number of salmon in each school. They then use this data to determine when the fishermen are allowed to fish, if the volume of salmon is too low they are not allowed to fish. Once the volume rises to a number which allows for enough fish to escape upstream to spawn, the fishermen are given a set amount of time that they are allowed to fish. This timed fishing allowance and escapement number is vital to the sustainability of salmon.

We guarantee the quality of our products to be maintained for one year from purchase when kept in proper conditions. All seafood should be kept in a freezer that maintains even temperature, do not store any seafood on the door or towards the front of the freezer, and do not stack other items on top of seafood. If your seafood loses its vacuum seal, plan to use those pieces first! They are still completely safe to eat but are more prone to freezer burn. Freezer burn is the process of water being pulled from the fish and turned into ice crystals.

All Wild for Salmon orders are shipped from Bloomsburg Pennsylvania. The owner and Fisherman, Steve Kurian, is a PA native.

Our fish are harvested in their natural environment. They spend their life in the open waters and eat their natural diet. You can read more about why "Wild-Caught" is healthier for both you and the fish in our blog.

Our sockeye salmon are caught using a stationary gillnet, meaning we set our nets with small buoys to float at the top of the water and then the anchor holds one end of the bottom of the net taut, so the net is against the open current. The salmon then swim into the net and are caught by the gills, once caught the nets are pulled on board. As each salmon comes on board it is removed from the net by our deckhands placed on a rubber slide so they do not hit the floor of the boat and become bruised. This slide then moves them to another deckhand who bleeds each individual salmon and then places it into a refrigerated circulating seawater storage tank below. All salmon are then processed within 12 hours of being caught by our trusted processor Leader Creek Fisheries. Processing includes flash freezing and vacuum sealing.
