Coming soon: Southeast Alaska Spot Prawns!! 🦐 A true Alaska seafood delicacy not to be missed.

Southeast Alaska’s Spot Prawn season is a short one which is why we like to stock up in the spring so that we can enjoy them throughout the year. Alaskans Own Spot Prawns are locally harvested and individually frozen to ensure quality and freshness.

We’ll be posting more information soon about how to order Alaskans Own Spot Prawns, so stay tuned! 🦐 🦐 🦐

It’s one of our favorite days of the year: International Wild Salmon Day!!
Salmon are not only one of the world’s most fascinating and mysterious creatures, traveling thousands of miles before swimming back home to spawn, but they are also some of the most nutritious sources of protein on the planet. Wild salmon boast heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), and exceptionally high levels of essential micronutrients like Vitamin D, Vitamin B-12, and selenium.

We can’t take our wild salmon for granted - they have disappeared in regions that have experienced habitat loss, hydropower, hatchery mis-management, and overharvest. That’s why we must be extra vigilant and speak out for wild salmon every chance we get, including current policies and decisions around the future management of the Tongass National Forest.

We are celebrating International Wild Salmon Day in the kitchen with some of our favorite wild salmon recipes, including Cilantro Lime Baked Salmon. You can use any species of salmon - they all pair beautifully with the bright lime and cilantro flavors.

ICYMI, we are going to be suspending our FedEx seafood shipments this summer starting June 1st. After June 1st you will only be able to ship our Seafood Boxes via FedEx during the fall and holiday seasons (exact dates will be shared later this summer). That means stock up now on your favorite Alaskans Own seafood - we’ve got this season’s Halibut, Rockfish, Lingcod, and Sablefish in stock!

This change does NOT affect our Seafood Shares customers - Seafood Shares are shipped via Alaska Air Cargo. It also does not affect our shelf-stable products, including Wildfish Cannery tinned seafood and Barnacle specialty foods.

Read our full announcement here and please contact us with any questions.
Thank you for your support!

At Alaskans Own, we honor every fish that is harvested from the sea. That includes honoring the WHOLE fish, not just the beautiful fillets that we are all accustomed to cooking and eating.

There are so many other parts of the fish that are often discarded, including the bellies, cheeks, collars, and trim. That is why we’re proud to work with our local processors to offer a variety of seafood products that help minimize fish waste and maximize fish value.

Keep an eye out for our halibut and salmon mince meat, halibut cheeks, and black cod tips this season and join us in honoring the whole fish!

Spring fishing is in full swing! We’ve got new inventory of this season’s Rockfish, Sablefish, Halibut, and Lingcod! All harvested here in Southeast Alaska by local small-boat fishermen and flash-frozen to ensure premium quality and freshness.

Stock up while supplies last and enjoy wild Alaska seafood on your grill all summer long!
