fresh caught Nerka salmon

Know Our Fish

Hook & line caught in Southeast Alaska, our wild, frozen-at-sea king and coho salmon are fresher than fresh: cleaned, catheter-bled, flash-frozen at -40 degrees within an hour of leaving the sea. Nerka Sea Frozen Salmon guarantees you a premium quality, consistent salmon source for October through April, when fresh wild salmon are out of season, hard to come by, or cost-prohibitive.

Know Your Fisherfolks

We are Team Nerka: Joel and Tele, both second-generation salmon trollers. We’ve been running the Nerka (the boat Joel first went to sea on at two weeks old!) together since 2006. We share a sea-to-plate story with our partners, personally delivering our frozen-at-sea catch to chefs, food co-ops, seafood markets, and families. As artists, salmon are our perfect, lovingly handled medium.
