Your fish are caught by Nathan, Lareasa and Collin; set-netters in the Naknek-Kvichak River District in Bristol Bay. They fish for us because it means a higher value for their catch. They go to extra effort to handle the fish with care and keep it cold because they know their name is on each box.
These fishermen take pride in knowing that the product they deliver is appreciated by the people who support their livelihood and choose to buy wild salmon from small, independent producers.
Alaska is dedicated to sustainable fisheries management and Bristol Bay is leading the way. Sockeye salmon return to these rivers in record numbers year after year. The fleet doesn't set a net until escapement is taken into account because we want these fish around for generations to come. That's something we can all agree on.

The next time you see a fish in the grocery store or online, ask yourself, who handled that fish? Cut it? Packaged it? Every salmon out of the net and halibut off of the line is hand-cut and put right in the box by our family business.
With a small crew of fun-loving and hard-working individuals from Montana to Alaska to Serbia to Argentina - we work around the clock each summer to see to every detail of your order.
Processing ourselves, means that we can use every part of the fish and reduce waste by getting the highest yield.
When you place a pre-order it is for the upcoming season's catch. This helps us know exactly how much to bring home. When you buy your fish, you will choose a location of a pick-up event near you that takes place in August or September. Check our pick-up calendar for dates and times, and watch your email for a reminder when it gets close to the big day!

Yes, we have it - but there is a reason it goes fast! Halibut is caught in the beginning of the season, before the salmon run. Bristol Bay residents have Community Development Quota that we get to process - if we're lucky! We will continue to take orders as long as we have fish coming across the dock to fill them. But don't think twice, we always sell out!
Kvichak Fish Co. (pron. Kwee-Jack) is named for the Kvichak River in Bristol Bay, Alaska. Meaning, "From Great Water" - which the salmon truly is.
