Naknek Family Fisheries works closely with family member fishermen to hand-select only the highest quality salmon. We carefully handle the fish, and ice it immediately out of the net, to ensure the best flavor, texture, and quality.

We offer a number of convenient packaging and shipping alternatives to suit your preferences:

1. Fresh, gutted salmon (head on)

This product is available locally, within the State of Alaska, and most parts of the country where Alaska Airlines flies. We can ensure a fresh product through careful packaging in foil insulated liners, and frozen gel packs. We are now taking orders of 100 pounds or more for the upcoming 2007 salmon season.

2. Fresh or Frozen Salmon Fillets

We pride ourselves in offering only premium quality fresh or frozen salmon fillets. These fish are hand selected and graded on board. Once they are identified as the highest quality salmon, they are then iced immediately out of the net, and then picked up by our beach crew. Unlike other processors who sell "ocean run" salmon, we only sell the highest quality salmon. That means no net marks, no bruising or bleeding, and always the firmest, freshest taste.

3. Custom Processing

This service is available both to our member fishermen and other Bristol Bay seafood harvesters. By offering custom processing in our DEC approved facility, we hope to stimulate additional markets for our fine Bristol Bay seafood products.

Depending on your needs, we can put a quote together for you for the 2007 upcoming salmon and halibut season to ensure that you have the exact product that you need.

4. Fresh or Frozen Halibut

From about May through early June, we have access to fresh and frozen halibut. This is a very popular fish, so please place your order early. We can offer it is several forms: fresh, whole halibut (headed/gutted) or fletched and vacuum-packaged halibut. There is a minimum order of 100 pound for orders shipped via air freight.

This is the best halibut available in the Bristol Bay, as our member fisherman ices all of his fish on board, and has an excellent reputation for delivering a clean and healthful product in a timely fashion.
