A Community Supported Fishery (CSF) is an alternative business model for selling fresh, locally sourced seafood. If you're wondering where to find "the best salmon near me?" CSF programs are the answer. Modeled after the increasingly popular Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs, CSF’s offer members shares of seafood for a pre-paid membership fee. When you buy fish from a CSF, you are buying directly from the fisherman that caught the fish. We are extremely proud of our team that gets our Alaskan salmon delivered directly from their boat to your table!

Our salmon is vacuum sealed and then flash frozen in airtight packages. Flash freezing, also known as “blast freezing” occurs very quickly. This process locks in all the flavors, juices, and benefits of fresh fish, allowing them to keep perfectly for long periods.  Fresher than fresh, really. Our frozen sockeye salmon even retain their red color and firm texture.  

Flash freezing requires us to use technologically advanced, extremely low temperature freezers (± -40° Fahrenheit) for each piece just as soon as it is vacuum packed, maintaining the flavor, texture, and goodness of each day’s catch.  This ensures that there is no degradation at all in the quality of the share you receive.  When the fish freezes this quickly, no ice crystals form to affect the tissue, preserving the fish naturally.

Flash freezing has been proven to the very best way to preserve the shelf life of our wild & sustainably caught Alaskan salmon. This process ensures a much longer shelf (freezer) life, and relegates artificial preservatives to being a thing of the past.  The best salmon to buy online is always frozen because of the flavor, aroma, and nutritional benefits you enjoy are exactly as they were when it was caught, even if you live thousands of miles away.

If you're looking for health benefits, the best seafood to buy is Alaskan red salmon (Sockeye). Sockeye is considered a superfood and is a great way to get essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and protein while also helping to promote heart health. Salmon is also rich in vitamins and minerals like iron and vitamin B12, as well as other important nutrients such as selenium, phosphorus, and zinc. Sockeye salmon is widely considered the best salmon to buy for these multiple health benefits. Eating salmon can also help reduce inflammation, support brain health, and improve overall skin health.

Our fish is all flash frozen and vacuum sealed upon delivery/pick up. Our wild Alaskan salmon fillets are roughly 1/2 to 3/4 lb each and flash frozen right on the dock to ensure they're the best salmon to buy online, bar none.
