The journey of our Alaskan seafood – from a biological perspective – begins in the icy waters of the North Pacific Ocean. Salmon migrate each year from the ocean to inland streams and tributaries to spawn where they themselves hatched. Cod, halibut, rockfish, and shellfish spend much of their lives in the depths of the oceanic waters in Kachemak Bay, the Gulf of Alaska, or the Bering Sea.

Our Alaskan seafood is also rooted in a deep human connection. Our seafood is part of an ecosystem conserved by generations of those who call Alaska home.

The journey of bringing this storied seafood to your door begins with each species' catch season, which runs between 2 to 12 months of the year. The map of Alaskan waters shows the different areas where your seafood is caught.

Once caught, the fish is cleaned and flash frozen – sometimes right on the boat! They are further processed in the Pacific Northwest. We then ship in freezer trucks to our fulfillment centers in the lower 48 states. Take a look at this article for more detail and to Follow the Fish!

Once the box arrives at your home, you might also notice some cool features with our packaging. The insulation itself is entirely compostable. Check out Green Cell Foam's website to read more!

Keep your fish frozen until you are ready to cook up a fish feast! Then, check out our articles about the best way to thaw frozen fish and the recipe section of our blog.

As always, let us know if you have any questions and live wild!
