Imagine a pristine natural treasure where the Alaskan Peninsula meets the Bering Sea. That’s Bristol Bay—one of the most bountiful salmon fishing regions on the planet and where we source our delicious, wild-caught sockeye salmon.
Each year, once the maximum number of salmon that the river systems can handle make it upstream to spawn, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game open up the Bristol Bay fishing waters to the indigenous tribes that have fished the region for centuries and a small number of local, family fishing operations.
We’re proud to partner with those who wild catch and sustainably harvest this salmon that you can feel good about.
