Gourmet
saltwater fish products from a real Alaska seafood company
!
The
fresh Alaska seafood you will recieve from Alaska Smoked
Fish and Big Blue Fisheries come from the clean
and cold North Pacific waters near Sitka on the coast of Alaska's
southeast panhandle. Alaska is well known for
its unspoiled wilderness and clean water. The waters
here are beautiful...and the fish and shellfish are, too.
Our salmon come from the troll fleet fishing Sitka area waters.
These fish are caught and expertly handled to maximize flavor
and texture. Our fishermen quickly clean them and pack
them in ice. We begin to process them within 48 hours
of the catch...often sooner.
Note that these are not farmed fish...there are no antibiotics
here! Wild salmon are
good, healthily nutritious food and a great source of Omega
3 fatty acid.
Furthermore, the International Marine Stewardship Council
has certified that the
Alaska commercial salmon fishery is sustainable.
This means you can purchase and use Alaska commercially caught
salmon with the assurance that the fishery is conducted in
an environmentally sound manner.
Our halibut are
also caught near Sitka. They are cleaned and iced down
immediately, and, like the salmon, delivered to our processing
plant within 48 hours of the catch. We fletch the fish,
size it and vacuum pack it, and then flash freeze it to 38
below zero for maximum preservation. We have halibut fresh
frozen for year-round availability.
"Salmon
is an ideal source for long-chain omega-3 fatty acids,
which are necessary for brain development in babies
and cardiovascular health in adults."

Our rock fish and cod are similarly cared for. Whether
it's rock fish, king salmon, or halibut, we're confident you'll
enjoy the great flavor of this gourmet-quality table fare.
Shrimp and crabs are
available seasonally. Shrimp are commercially caught
in the deep fiords near Sitka, cleaned at sea and delivered
to us packaged in two pound containers with the shrimp frozen
in water to protect from them from freezer burn.
Like
crab? You'll really like our Alaska
Dungeness crab sections! These are blast frozen
and shipped to you in the shell. You'll enjoy picking
the succulent meat out of the crab legs....and licking your
fingers later!
Scallops are
available year round. You'll enjoy these round bursts
of shell fish flavor. Buy enough for a small feast because
you won't want to stop with just a few! |
