About Alaskans Own

As Alaska's first Community Supported Fishery (CSF), Alaskans Own gives seafood eaters the opportunity to take the health and sustainability of wild fisheries and Alaska’s coastal communities into their own hands. Alaskans Own is a program of the Alaska Sustainable Fisheries Trust (ASFT) and the Alaska Longline Fishermen's Association (ALFA): an alliance of over 150 small-boat fishing families who are committed to fighting for good fisheries policy and research supporting resource conservation. Joining Alaskans Own is about a lot more than buying great fish. It’s an investment in the health of both fish and fisherman, in a cleaner environment, more vibrant local economies and a better future for Alaska.

All profits from Alaskans Own will go directly towards supporting fishery conservation research, initiatives to keep fishing access rights local and other efforts to ensure the health and longevity of Alaskan fisheries. Learn more about our fishery conservation work at alfafish.org.

THE FISHERMEN

Alaskans Own fishermen have made a conscious choice to fish in a sustainable manner, and are committed to protecting the abundance and diversity of the nation's oceans for generations to come. Many are members of ALFA's innovative Fishery Conservation Network, a unique model that engages fishermen in scientific research to address resource conservation issues like fuel efficiency and whale depredation from the ground up. Read all about them here.

THE QUALITY

Alaskans Own fishing families harvest seafood using hook and line gear. Both techniques have some of the lowest rates of bycatch, and lowest impacts on the ocean habitat in the industry, and both mean individually handled, high quality fish.

Each Alaskans Own fish is individually landed, gill bled and chilled within minutes of leaving the ocean. They are then processed at a Sitka-based processing facility into conveniently sized, vacuum-packed frozen fillets.

Hook and line caught seafood retains the best possible taste and texture. Check out our Species Manifesto for more about species and fishing methods.
