Alaska wild salmon
Testimonials
 

Hello to Ed's!

As a lifelong Alaskan who grew up on a salmon fishing boat where the emphasis was on wild and fresh, I want to let you know that I enjoy your amazing salmon burgers more than anyother I have ever tried. They are so delicious, quick and easy to cook that I have begun buying them to give as gifts to my friends as I believe that this is the best and I don't think you can improve on perfection!
You have really put together an excellent quality seafood processing facility and brokerage. Your attention to detail, quality and customer satisfaction completely impress me. You have absolutely won me over and I thank you for all you do to improve the reputation of our wild Alaskan ocean bounty. After researching your website I am planning on purchasing your secret brine mix to perfect my next salmon smoking session! Thank you again!

I ordered the spot shrimp a while back. They were absolutely delicious and as sweet as sugar as advertised, the best!

Thank you for making my husband very happy. He loved the lox!! I even had to go and buy bagels and cream cheese. He had tasted lox at a breakfast buffet in Texas and fell in love with them. When Mike asked for lox for his birthday I wasn't to sure how I was going to get them. Your web site was so easy to use and even tho you ship fed ex we don't have next day shipping where I live. The lox were in great condition and the flavor is wondeful. Thank you for making my husband's birthday a success. He was surprised I found it for him.

Dear Everyone at Ed's Kasilof Seafoods, Inc.

I just received my order of your Nova Lox. I had ordered a pound of it several months ago to try and it was so good, that when I saw this fantastic sale for your Nova Lox,offered this week in your weekly e-mail, I just had to stock up on it! Therefore, I purchased twenty pounds of your Nova Lox for my freezer. When you say "overnight shipping," you really mean it! Everything was still frozen, despite traveling from Alaska to upstate New York. I can always count on Ed's Kasilof Seafoods, Inc., for my Salmon needs!

Thank you again and keep the e-mail specials coming!

Dear Ed's,

We have fished all over Alaska and have had fish processed at several places. Kasilof Seafoods is by far the best processor we have used. The packages were the correct size and done so nicely. They were flash frozen and ready on time as well. We can't say enough good about your operation. It is top notch. Thanks so much for the quality work you do. It is easy to see the pride you place in a job well done.

I wanted to drop y’all a note about your salmon. I sent one of your samplers to my parents as a gift. THEY LOVE IT!! Great quality, fantastic taste, and ULTRA-FAST shipping!
Thanks for the great job!!

Dear Ed's, Thanks for offering h/g sockeye. I prefer to fillet the fish myself and save. There's not much I leave that goes to waste after scraping the bones. I grew up catching salmon and trout and I know what quality fish is. Your sockeye are the epitome of top quality. They have unmistakable fresh firmness, texture, and taste. Thanks for a great product, service, and price.
Respectfully,

Craig

 

Hello, Me and my wife were staying at the Fish Hut and used our guide Casey's Guide Service. We asked them where the best place around is to process our king salmon. The response was a resounding Ed's Kasilof Seafoods. The last time we were in Kenai (2003) we had the fish processed by Berg's Peninsula Fish. We were 100% discussed with the product they sent back to where we live in Minnesota. Most of the
cyrovac bags had leaks so the fish would have a very short life. Any way we want to rave about the fish we just received from you. There was not a single bag broken nor was the order not wrong. On top of that the smoked fish you made for us is out of this world. For now on we will only use your place while in Alaska and will gladly recommend your place to anyone who asks. Oh and lastly, the girls you have working there they are great, helpful, and friendly.
Thank you,

William B. & Amber C.

 

I wanted to tell you how delighted I am about the delivery of our salmon
we received today. The fish arrived on time, nicely packed, and frozen. It
looked great! We look forward to using your recipes on our fish. Thanks
for making our trip to Alaska even more memorable!

Josephine, VA

 

Dear Ed's, The shipment arrived safely and the salmon was the hit of the party! I used your marinade recipe and it was delicious. Everyone raved about the food and I gave several people your contact number. Thank you for helping make my daughter's UCLA graduation celebration such a super success! You'll be hearing from me again.
Best regards,

Cara R.

 

Well. we were very pleased with the salmon, lox, and halibut we ordered. We will try to eat it as quickly as possible so we can re-order...

Eliz, Hawaii

 

I received the order as you stipulated below in good order. My wife and I had some of your Wild Salmon today and it was absolutely delicious. thank you.
Best wishes,

Samuel

 

I wanted to let you know that my Father got his new shipment of your Salmon and he just loved it! Thanks again for resolving the spoiled shipment due to the shipping delay in such a professional manner. I do a fair amount of shopping on the Internet and it is a welcome experience when I find a merchant that not only provides a superior product but excellent customer service. Thanks for a job well done.

Jeanette, Washington

 

Hello- I received my order yesterday and I am more than pleased. As a matter of fact, we ate a delicious meal last night. I have ordered Alaskan salmon from another firm and was disappointed with my last order. Thank you, thank you, thank you for such great service and for wonderful product.
Regards,

Jim

 

Dear Jim and Kim, I received my order yesterday and everything was in order. The salmon was still very cold and in good condition. We haven't tried it yet, but looks very good. I want to thank you and your staff for persevering through all of this and coming out with a happy customer in the end. Thanks and a happy New Year to you all!

Dean

 

Well done! We had forgotten what fish is supposed to taste like. I'll be ordering from you again.

Mary

 

Hi Jim
As promised, I am writing to tell you about your product. It tastes unlike any salmon I have had in my life. The flavor was delicious and the texture was more life a steak than the farm raised salmon I am used to. Even the 5-8 bones in each fish is not a concern to me. I also wish to tell you that I have informed everyone at the hospital I work with about it and they wish to split the next order with me, but I told them they can split it with someone else as I will finish this 10 pound order and then order another one for myself. Thank you again for the delicious (and natural) seafood and count on me as a repeat customer!!
Sincerely,

David

 

Hi Jim, I just wanted to let you know that I have quickly become addicted to those fantastic salmon fillets - I'm going to start looking into that freezer situation you suggested because this stuff is just sooo good! I've been telling all of my friends about it as well. I'll be calling you when I start to run low.
Thanks!

Mike

 

Dear Ed's Seafood;
Your service is excellent and so is the lox.. I tried it on a Ritz cracker and it was delicious..
Thanks for the recipe, also..
Regards..

Randy

 

Hey folks!
Got my filets, boy are they gorgeous!! Also I appreciate the extra
dividend of the smoked salmon. I was curious how yours would taste, but didn't want
to order it and not like it! Not sure how your Fed Ex pricing structure works, but if they charge you extra for signatures - throw the book at 'em! I happened to take a late
lunch today. The Fed Ex person knocked on the door and left the box - didn't
wait to see if I was home or for a signature - even more interesting since you
wrote on the box to leave it at the office and their stickers said to
leave it at the office...Technology only works so far!
Have a great day and thanks again for the dividend!!

Melynda

 

What a nice job of packaging the fish... They arrived perfect! I am impressed not only with the quality but the preparation for shipping... (Have gone to Sitka for the past 4 Yrs and bringing the fish home has had its trial and errors)

Ed

 


Just a note to complement you on your salmon----I have received 4 orders of salmon and all are delicious. For the first time I ordered nova lox and I must say it is among the very best I have ever eaten. Keep up the good work!!!!!

Helen

 

Hi Jim,
I received the 10 lbs. of sockeye that you sent yesterday. The fish was
expertly packaged and arrived completely frozen. The gel pack had not even
begun to thaw! I had one of the fillets for dinner and it was excellent! I
had forgotten how good fresh salmon tastes! I am looking forward to trying
some halibut in a couple of weeks and some king salmon in June. You've got
a new customer. Thanks!

Brad

 

Thank you so much for the salmon and halibut. The package arrived here today in great shape and solid as a rock! We immediately thawed some salmon and enjoyed a great meal! Since we now live in Louisiana, we had our salmon blackened! Thanks again for this taste of AK!
Cheers,

Brent

 

We recently ordered salmon filets from you and were very pleased with the product. We are thinking of making holiday gifts of wild king salmon. Are you open all year and will salmon be available all year or will the market shut down for a period of time? If so when will there be no salmon or halibut available?

Charles

 

Hi Ed,
Thanks for the fine seafood. Arrived in good condition and we had some of the prawns last nite, yum yum. Have not had the alaska prawns since my last trip fishing trip up there five years ago. We fished at gold coast lodge and had brought some wild abalone from the north coast that we traded with dave ausman. He was crazy about it and gave us a mess of the prawns. I am wondering if you might like to trade some abalone for prawns ect. The abalone are from nine inch + size and are huge. Big snowie white meats and I vacuum pack and can fed-ex to you the same package you shipped to me in.
Again thank you!

Richard

 

Dear Jim
We received our 10 lbs. plus 1 on Tuesday and just had our first King Salmon fillet tonight. The first thing I noticed was how clean it smelled. No fish odor at all. The last thing I noticed was how full I was from pigging out on this great treat. I'll be back

Thanks, Gary in CT.

 

Hi,
Thank you very much for your excellent product.

Ken and Marin

 

HI
Just to let you know our dinner was a success everyone couldn’t get over how great the crab legs were. The one remark was that they want it to be done again next year.

Millie M.

 

Received some king,sockeye and halibut fillets two weeks ago.
Just had the opportunity to try. Excellent on all accounts. Most
importantly my kids, who usually shy away from fish, love it all.
Tks

Joe

 

Wow, I got the food and it is awesome, the best there is! Thanks

We just wanted to drop you a note to wish you a very merry Christmas. We just ordered some salmon & halibut & smoked salmon for Jim's sister in Florida (order #4641) and can't wait to hear her RAVE reviews. You guys are the BEST and we really appreciate you making our Christmas even merrier. Hope to see you next year (if we can get there!).
Happy Holidays!

The Salmon is excellent! Thank you for the smoked salmon too. That tasted great!

Mike

 

Well just as a follow up to Sandy and all you good people up there, Inuit (the actual arrival of the Salmon became such an event that by the time he had turned I had familiarized him) served us truly magnificently. Gutted then stuffed with leeks, garlic, fresh dill, thyme and lemon sliced, he was sown up again wrapped carefully in foil and placed in the dishwasher (without detergent, naturally). Two cycles later on the pots and pans wash he was perfect. All that heat and steam. Perfect. Allowed to cool I then skinned him, laid thinly sliced English cucumber all across him and glazed him with gelatin but not before slices of orange formed a collar and decorated his flank. Along with a thick dill sauce and 6 lbs of spiced shrimp he was absolutely delicious. So with some leftovers in the fridge and snowballs in the freezer. A Christmas to remember.
Thanks and Happy New Year

Dear friends,
The box of seafood arrived yesterday (12/29/04) in very good condition and the contents are still in their original container, awaiting my finding time to open and consume them. Thank you for your kind service.

Ruth

 

Just wanted to drop you guys a note to tell you the package arrived at my Dad's house on Wednesday AM the 28th.........I was fortunate to be there when he opened up the box.........his expression when he saw the crab legs that were (as he exclaimed) big as 'ball bats' was priceless. Needless to say he was excited and I was extremely pleased with your product.........the portion of smoked salmon was a nice touch. Thanks for the super service and great product.................I just hope to be able to get back to his place and sample some before he eats it all.
Once again.. Thank You.

Gary

 

Just received our order and wanted to thank you for prompt shipping and excellent quality. If this was an ebay order we would publish excellent feedback.

Sam

 

I just wanted to let you know the Sockeye salmon made my Dad's Christmas! He just raved about it, and said it's the best he's ever had. Thanks again!

Melinda

 

Hi Sandy,
Just a quick note to let you know I got a phone call today from my son in Chattanooga who was ecstatic with glee and utter satisfaction! He and his wife had just eaten half of the shipment with corn on the cob, an avocado and a bottle of good wine. He said it was the BEST King Crab he had ever eaten.......and he eats a lot! Thank you for helping me make
his birthday memorable. We'll be back!!!

Richard

 

We received the order. The fish looks beautiful. My husband, a
professional chef, even said "wow" when he looked at the pieces of fish.
Thanks,

Patty

 

I just have to say……I was very, very pleased with the salmon you shipped. I live in Kansas, and it’s very hard to get ocean fresh fish here. I was most impressed by the care that was taken to pack and ship the filets. In this day and age, most vendors try to “get it there with minimal cost”. You guys actually packed it in a cooler with ice packs, taped it, vacuum sealed each package, and put a ‘how to guide’ with it, etc. When it got here, it was still frozen. When I thawed and cooked it, it was the best salmon I ever had….and I am the critic’s critic!! Thank you so much!! I will be ordering from you again.

Dear Ed's Kasilof Seafoods:
Thank you for all for your wonderful and kind help regarding my recent order. As I mentioned to you on the phone, the order was for a friend, who has a terminal illness, and his wife. Seeing the smile on both Bob's and Gretchen's face, when they tasted the outstanding Kasilof's smoked salmon was priceless.
Your company has never disappointed me. Ed's Kasilof Seafoods has both packaged my freshly caught salmon and processed orders for me as well. In either situation, the service and quality has always been excellent.
Thank you once again for helping my friends. In addition, I hope that your company and employees continue to prosper and have a great 2005.
Most Sincerely

David , MD

 

Received my salmon today!
Thank you very much.... looking forward to many enjoyable healthy meals in the next couple of weeks.
Wonderfully smooth transaction, look forward to dealing with you again!
Thanks,

Henry

 

Aloha!
Our order arrived today at about 4:30 p.m., and everything looks great! We can’t wait to begin our feast! Thanks so much for the excellent service and wonderful looking seafood. We’ll be placing more orders in the future, and we’ll be sure to tell all our friends about your website.
Mahalo,

Linda & Joe

 

We have received our first shipment of crab legs from you. We invited guest and served them last night. They were great. Everything from the time I ordered them, to receiving them and until the time we served them went exactly as you proclaimed. It was pure pleasure.

We will certainly do this again. Thank you.

Hi Sandy,
The crab was very good. I have given your name to several people. One said they already ordered from you.

Thanks,
We can't get salmon like this in Boston. The Sockeye rocks. I would pay as much for Atlantic salmon out here, which is tasty but not even remotely comparable to the Alaskan wild. Sometimes they inject it with who knows what to make it more pink. That should be illegal. We get the quality Striped Bass though on Cape Cod so it all evens out. Tight lines.

I just received my Jalapeno Smoked Salmon that I ordered, that you mailed yesterday!
I was a bit concerned because, here in the state of New York, we are in the midst of a heat wave with high temperatures, (98 degrees expected), and high humidity. I was concerned about how long my shipment might sit in the back of the delivery truck with blistering heat.
However, I just unpacked my order and everything is still frozen! Wow! I'm impressed! Now, I have nothing to worry about and everything is safely in my freezer!
You folks at ED'S KASILOF SEAFOOD'S, ARE THE BEST!
I'm glad I found you! Your seafood is simply the best!!!
I look forward to reading my weekly e-mails from ED'S KASILOF SEAFOOD'S to learn of your fabulous sales!
Keep the e-mail's advertising your great sales coming!

I am so impressed! My order was placed yesterday and received today. That's not all! Every item remained in its original frozen state during shipping and packaging was impeccable. I'm from Texas and most of the restaurants here serve farm-raised salmon to unsuspecting customers - fish harvested from cages in places like Chile. Those of us who know salmon, know the difference between fish that were fed "rapid-growth" pellets and those caught running wild in icy waters. Okay, my mouth is watering and the grill is hot so this will be short. Thanks for the excellent customer service and the added bonus of reading material (newspaper packing). It'll be fun reading about things in your neck-of-the-woods while enjoying my meal.

I would like to take the time to let you all know how pleased I am not only to have found you as a source for seafood, but to thank you for my first order being delivered as promised. Frankly, I am very disappointed with the quality of seafood that I am finding in our local markets; the color additives and lack of flavor always make me feel I have totally wasted my money and time. However, I want to let you know that the flavor and texture and fresh smell of the salmon I purchased from you was absolutely superb. It has been many years since I have been this pleased with a seafood purchase; and complying with a heart-healthy diet will now become easier and more enjoyable. I feel safe to say that you now have a customer for life and am very happy to add you to my list of vendors. Warmest regards and safe fishing,

Raymond , Lancaster, Ohio.

 

Dear Ed's Kasilof Seafoods:
Thank you for resending a new order of salmon and halibut to me. It was disappointing that FedEx did not deliver it on time, as the fish though warm was beautiful as usual. Of note, this was certainly not your fault. However, I did appreciate your helping me to rectify the problem.
The second batch of fish arrived on time and was completely frozen. In addition, it is beautiful, and my family will certainly enjoy it over the upcoming winter.
You are an outstanding company, and I certainly do not "shop around", when it pertains to purchasing either salmon or halibut. Hopefully, I will be able to again deliver some of my own salmon for processing by your company next fall. However, the fish that you provided for me this year is as close as I can get to catching it myself.
Please have a safe and enjoyable year.
Most Sincerely,

David

 

To Whom It May Concern:
My son sent me a gift package of Halibut and Salmon from you. I was, to put it mildly, overwhelmed…but that is not why I’m writing. I wanted you to know that the fish arrived perfectly. The selections are beyond belief and will be relished in the weeks to come. What I also really appreciated was the “recipes” that were included. I tried the “simplest” Halibut recipe and it was absolutely delicious.
Thank you for your fabulous service and selections. I’ll try to order some items for myself soon.

I received my order yesterday, 11/28. The moose antler ulu knife is beautiful!!!!! I am so pleased, it is even better than I expected. It also arrived sooner than I expected. Thank you so much for such a pleasant transaction.

Kathleen W.

 

Just wanted to thank you for the fish. It looks great, it was completely frozen when it arrived, and I can’t wait to put it on the grill. Again thanks and look forward to many more orders. P.s. if you have and specials please feel free to e-mail them to me.

James W., California

 

Just a note to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I would also like to send a special thank you to Kim and Sandy for being so helpful on orders that I have placed. Thank you for having such wonderful products and kind personnel!
