WILD FOR SALMON, BLOOMSBURG PA (94 MILEs)

Wild For Salmon is owned and operated by Steve and Jenn Kurian of Bloomsburg, PA. in 2002, the couple went on a commercial fishing trip in the Naknak region of Alaska, and have been sustainably fishing the Bristol Bay ever since.

June and July are busy months on the boat, with the fishing season only lasting about 5-7 weeks. Beginning in late May, salmon make the run upriver to spawn in one of the five rivers that feed into Bristol Bay. State groups, like the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, work hard to ensure that the salmon population remains healthy while also supporting the commercial harvest for fishermen. Buying Alaskan supports the world’s last all-wild salmon run in Bristol Bay.

Buying seafood directly from the fishermen gives you confidence that your fish have been properly handled, sustainably harvested from Alaska waters, and available to you at a fair price. Buying from Alaska may not be a traditionally “local” choice, but did you know that some seafood caught in the US is frozen, shipped to China for processing, and then shipped back to the U.S.?

“We created this business to provide natural, sustainably harvested salmon products of superior quality, priced for the common good. We offer wild, Alaskan sockeye salmon because we believe the health benefits received from wild salmon are an essential part of our mind and body health.”
