The Ocean has provided our family with good food, meaningful work and a livelihood that defines us. Our days revolve around the tides, the fish, and the weather in a fluid rhythm of the seasons. We spend our days with our family working on Alaska’s North Pacific Ocean, bringing nourishment, good health and a good story to the people who enjoy our wild catch.
Alaska’s fisheries are managed responsibly, which means we can look forward to many more years of fishing with our family. We’re proud that the role we play in the delicate balance of harvesting wild seafood is forward-thinking and sustainable, and proud that each year our ocean continues to run wild with marine life. To us, the fish we harvest are much more than a commodity to catch and sell; they are both a source of nourishment and a connection to the wild places where we live and work. We are proud to share the bounty of the ocean with the world because we know the physical strength, mental grit, bravery and sacrifice that goes into working at sea. We also know the joys that accompany this work - the rich heritage, freedom, camaraderie, ingenuity, enterprise, nourishment, and stewardship. Fishing is more than an occupation; it is a way of life.
