Quality and Sustainability
Wild for Salmon knows the regulations and daily communications issued by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, but it’s also committed to the larger goal of maintaining the unspoiled waters of Bristol Bay and a sustainable supply of salmon. It also means you’re receiving the highest quality salmon in the entire world. This is another part of the mission Wild for Salmon is fully committed to. During to months of intense fishing activity, their net-caught salmon is kept in refrigerated holds and delivered to a larger crab boat every 10 hours. From there, it’s quickly offloaded to be filleted, flash-frozen, and vacuum-sealed.
