Wild Alaska Seafood Company

Producer: Tony Wood and Healther Huffman

Location: Bristol Bay, Alaska 

Specialities: Wild caught Alaska Salmon

Fun Facts: Wild Alaska's methods of fishing are designed to catch only the sustainable resource salmon, other species of fish and other wildlife are not harmed or caught. As the salmon are caught, the fish are delivered on ice to shore straight from our boat on a daily basis and are at once cleaned and hand-processed by our own processing team. This is called a “wet process”.The salmon is then immediately “flash frozen”, meaning that the product is deep frozen very quickly after the catch and packaged in vacuum sealed bags to lock in all of the quality and freshness and is constantly kept at ideal temperature and conditions so we can deliver fresh salmon to you anytime of year.
