How It Works:
Community Supported Fishery? How do I get salmon or halibut?
Our Community Supported Fishery (CSF) provides a fisherman-direct connection to sustainably harvested wild Alaskan salmon, halibut and cod. It starts with an annual pre-season online purchase of a share, which funds necessities like professional processing and frozen freight. While you gain access through the fisheman to high quality wild fish, you also give support to the fishery itself. Small-boat fishermen are invested for the long term in the vitality and sustainability of both the fish and the habitat in which they thrive, bringing the support of a CSF full circle.
Our seafood shares are available seasonally rather than supplied year round, so for guaranteed availability at the best price, purchase online during the annual pre-order windows. While fish is sometimes available in our pickup locations at other times, in general think of this as an annual purchase of a year’s supply. Anything extra is always available on via our Direct Shipping option until we sell out. Visit our Store to learn more.
The annual wild Alaskan halibut season occurs spring and summer, with the annual sockeye salmon run in Bristol Bay occuring mid-June to late-July. As salmon fishermen, we use small boats and gill-nets to fish near the mouth of the Kvichak River. The hand-picked bounty is transferred quickly to larger vessels to chill en route to the professional processors who work nearby on the fishing grounds.
The best of the harvest is hand selected for filets. Our seafood has bones removed prior to each filet being individually vacuum packaged. Rapid processing ensures just-caught flavor and freshness. Immediate and sustained deep freezing makes each filet sushi-grade, for raw consumption.
Your shares travel by plane or barge from Alaska to the Pacific NorthWest, before continuing onward. Specialized packaging and careful planning ensures frozen-freshness all the way to you, whether that be to your door, or your local CSF Pick-Up Event.
1. Choose Shipping or Pick-Up
- Direct Shipping: Wild Alaskan seafood is delivered, frozen, to your door. Direct Shipping is a great option when a local CSF Pick-Up isn’t available in your area, or you missed out on the last local pickup option.
- Local Pick-Up: These regional, annual events offer the best value for our premium fish. See our Locations and Pick-Up Details menus to learn more about our CSF locations and events.
