Wild Sockeye Salmon
A great source of niacin, B-vitamins, omega-3’s and essential minerals, wild Alaskan sockeye salmon is praised all over the world as the salmon of choice. Every summer, millions of salmon return to Alaska’s streams and rivers to spawn, where they are eagerly greeted by thousands of fishermen. Wild Alaska salmon are harvested commercially in all coastal regions of Alaska. Salmon are troll-caught, gill-netted, and purse seined throughout the summer months.Known to fishermen as reds, the sockeye is a valuable fish because of its high oil content and ability to hold its bright red flesh color. Sockeyes are very full-flavored, almost strong, and their flavor is faintly crab-like with a firm texture. They’re a key element for any menu.

Notes from our buyer
Crawfish season is winding down as we approach the end of June. Moving forward we are officially on a week to week basis for all deliveries.
____
Wild Salmon
Copper River sockeyes are back and running. We are also seeing some sockeyes from different areas as well. Copper River kings are closing this Sunday, but other wild kings are available. Ask us about farm raised New Zealand king salmon as well.

____
Soft shell crabs
We have some beautiful soft shells, whales, and jumbos for your feature board. Get them while the season lasts.
____
Salmon
Global demand coupled with lower production has salmon prices rising, especially in Chile. Several farms have overharvested to avoid the ISA and other issues. This has left these farms with little to no product. Several large frozen programs continue to scoop up a large amount of salmon as well. We are hoping to see more production in the next two months, but we will have to wait and see.
____
Summer is here and oysters will continue to be tight. Public seasons are closed, forcing our vendors to turn to their private leases. This means that there are fewer areas to fish from and a more limited supply to sort through. We will continue to support our loyal customers, as always, through this challenging time.
