Our business has focused on small-scale hand-cut processing that places the utmost emphasis on quality and handling from the fishing grounds to the cutting table. All of the fish is traced from the tide, the catcher, throughout production and to the customer. It has been our privilege to connect our customers to the source of their salmon and halibut by celebrating the men and women who harvest the fish, the crew that sees it through the processing line and the community that is sustained by the Bristol Bay fishery. We have consistently been one of the highest paying ex-vessel buyers in the region and are committed to supporting the economic viability of Southwest Alaska and its residents as well as meet the growing demand for custom processing services for commercial fishermen.

About The Kvichak Fish Co.
We are a family-owned and operated custom processing facility in Naknek, Alaska. We provide custom processing services for direct market fishermen and work with a small fleet of local Bristol Bay fishermen to source halibut and sockeye salmon that we hand-cut, flash freeze and package. The fish is then shipped to Montana where we distribute via a Community Supported Fishery model of catch shares pre-ordered in spring and delivered in August. Our favorite part of the job is handing the fish to our customers and thanking them for supporting small scale seafood businesses!
