How it Works
There are four primary elements of a CSF program:
-
Provide a transparent chain from the boat to the table
-
To increase access to premium, sustainably caught seafood
-
To ensure fishermen receive a fair price that reflects the value of their work
-
To engage fishermen and community in viable, local food systems
The purpose of a CSF
is to connect folks with the ocean that provides for them, and to build rich, direct relationships between the fishermen and the community (you!).
To do this, our CSF “share members” pre-purchase a portion of our catch before and during the fishing season. Think of it as “seed” money that allows our fishermen to dedicate their season to catching your fish. In exchange, the fishermen’s pristine catch is then processed and distributed to Kenai-Red's share members once the fishing season concludes.
When you become a member, you gain access to not only the best quality fish available but also insider pricing on wild Alaskan salmon caught by us.
One Size Doesn't Always Fit All
We offer many different options and ways to purchase our Wild Alaskan seafood. By ordering a salmon share, you receive the best prices and become a member of our Community Supported Fishery (CSF).

Sockeye Salmon Share
Our Sockeye Salmon is line caught, bled, and immediately iced for premium quality. It is caught in the Cook Inlet outside of Homer, AK, then processed within 12 hours of the catch, vacuum sealed, and flash frozen at 40+ degrees below zero. Our process guarantees the salmon is the best quality available, in fact it is "fresher than fresh" because of it.

Coho Salmon Share
Coho salmon has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a delicate texture and firm, flaky flesh. Its mild flavor makes it a good gateway fish for salmon newbies or those who prefer a less bold profile. It is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, and vitamin B12. The health benefits of eating coho salmon include improved heart health, reduced inflammation, and better eye health.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAST FACTS
- 90% of the seafood consumed in the US is imported, often changing hands multiple times in a long, questionable supply chain. Kenai-Red is your supply chain so you know exactly where your fish comes from
- Our premium salmon is Marine Stewardship Council certified
- We own our own small-batch processing facility in Ninilchik, AK where we process and smoke our own fish in micro batches by hand
- The fish that goes in is the fish that comes out! What does that mean? In larger processing facilities, the fish fishers catch is not necessarily the fish they receive on the back end after processing is complete. That will never happen here. The fish we catch on our boats is exactly the fish you receive upon distribution!
- “Catch-to-freezer” time is often an impressive 12 hrs. Learn more about the flash freezing process and why we love it here
- Alaskan seafood is chock-full of protein, omega-3s, and essential vitamins and minerals. These nutrients can improve vision, brain health, heart health, and immune system functionality
