Bristol Bay boasts 130+ years of sustainability, supporting 8,000+ small boat fishermen and generations of fishing families. Each boat in Bristol Bay is a small business.

As the leading source of wild sockeye salmon on the planet, roughly half of the world’s sockeye salmon comes from this amazing place. The pristine habitat and responsible fishery management ensure that salmon runs, fishing families, and communities will continue to thrive.

Bristol Bay’s vast system of untouched pristine rivers and snow fed lakes make it an ideal sockeye salmon habitat. The Bristol Bay watershed feeds into six major river systems, all free from the pollution and disruption of modern society. Small boat fishermen harvest salmon using drift and set gillnets, producing virtually zero bycatch. The fish are chilled at the point of harvest and quickly delivered to nearby processing plants. Our salmon is then quickly and professionally filleted and flash frozen to -40 degrees Fahrenheit, creating a high quality, sushi-grade product. The harvest season runs from mid-June to early August, typically peaking in early July. Each year, the staggering abundance of Bristol Bay Sockeye Salmon means plenty of salmon can be frozen for year-round enjoyment.

Our family has put their blood, sweat, and tears into this fishery and we come back every year with the same eagerness and excitement as years before. We feel blessed for the opportunity to work in this special place. Our operation includes a 32-fort gillnetter owned and operated by Captain Phil (my husband) and his crew of 3-4 people.
