As a small, family business and fisher-sellers ourselves, the values of Wild for Salmon align closely with those of the Local Catch Network. We support community-based fisheries by buying the product we don't catch ourselves directly from independent owner-operators (such as Yakobi Fisheries). We believe in Fair Prices and do our best to make our product accessible while also supporting each part of the supply chain fairly. On our blog, we share a lot of how we run the business, on and off the boat. Being transparent with our customers in this way shows our commitment to Eating with the Ecosystem, Traceable & Simple Supply Chains, Catch & Handle with Honor, Community & Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management, and Honoring the Ocean. With a brick and mortar store, we are also constantly collaborating with other artisans, harvesters, and growers in our primarily agricultural community. With our annual tastings and Fishtival event, we are inviting customers to witness our processes and collaboration with our peers.
About Wild For Salmon
Steve & Jenn Kurian founded Wild for Salmon in 2002 after their first season in Bristol Bay, Alaska to provide natural, sustainably harvested salmon products of superior quality to their communities in central Pennsylvania and beyond. Today, Wild for Salmon ships wild seafood in order to share the health benefits that are an essential part of our mind and body health to families and food lovers across the country. Carefully packaged fillets and portions, as well as valued-added products like burgers and smoked fish, are all available for shipping. Wild for Salmon also sells wild Alaska whitefish, wild shellfish and shrimp, and other high-quality seafood.

What are the Local Catch Values in Action?
Our “values in action” reflect how members of our network implement our core values in practice. Through the intentional work of LCN and applying the core values, these elements emerge. The values in action are not meant to be criteria or requirements for network members, but instead help describe how we will achieve our mission and vision and help anchor and guide our work.
- Catch and Handle with Honor
- Community-Based Fisheries
- Eating with the Ecosystem
- Equitable Seafood Systems
- Fair Access
- Fair Pricing
- Holistic Fisheries Management
- Honoring Our Ecosystems
- Learning Through Exchange
- Traceable and Simple Supply Chains
