Responsibly Fished and Always Fresh

Bristol Bay Salmon

Bristol Bay, Alaska

Bristol Bay Salmon comes from the eastern-most arm of the Bering Sea — home to nearly one-third of the world's salmon population. The waterways of Bristol Bay provide spawning grounds for all species of wild Pacific salmon: king, coho, sockeye, chum and pink. Aside from a $2 billion fishing industry, Bristol Bay is also the gateway to Katmai National Park and Preserve. Currently threatened by the proposed Pebble Mine, Bristol Bay Salmon directly benefit from our support.

Nisbet Oyster Co., Inc.

Willapa Bay, Washington

Nisbet Oyster Company’s “Fresher Under Pressure” process means fresh, raw, preshucked and pasteurized oysters full of naturally delicious flavor. These oysters have been subjected to very high pressure, which crushes naturally occurring pathogens and shucks the oyster right in its shell. Each oyster is individually banded; just remove the band and enjoy! 
 Did you know: that oysters are naturally nutritious, low in cholesterol, sodium and fat, and rich in Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, vitamins like B12, and minerals like zinc, calcium and iron.

Iliamna Fish Company

Portland, OR

Iliamna Fish Company, based in Portland, was founded by a third generation family of Alaskans who were looking for a new way to do business. When co-founder Reid Ten Kley and his team began dipping their toes into the waters of this new direct-sales concept, we became their first retail customer. By appealing to discerning customers who care about the source of their salmon dinners, Iliamna Fish Company has built a growing client base among reputable restaurants in Portland, Oregon, and Brooklyn, New York — and with us. We’re proud to support sustainable fishing, an effort we started with Iliamna and will continue for generations to come.
