Prince William Sound is home to all five species of Pacific salmon. Every year from June through September they return to our protected coastal waters in order to spawn. The unmistakable color and taste of these fish can be attributed to the rich waters in which they thrive. As they feed and grow to adults in the open ocean they retain the rich nutrients of their diet of small crustaceans and plankton as heart healthy omega-3s and flavorful oils. Prince William Sound is fed by multiple glaciers which contribute to the cold, pristine water environment that wild salmon require in order to be healthy

Our fleet is proud to bring this incredible natural superfood to the plates of people all over the world.
