Small fishing family bringing you the BEST Alaskan seafood!

10/29/2026

Our family has been fishing halibut for decades, starting back when Jim was a kid. Throughout this time, our process hasn't changed.

For each fish that we harvest, we remove the hook and bleed it. Once that's done, we remove the guts, scrape the bloodline, cut out the soft tissue, and remove the gills. Doing these extra steps preserves the flavor and freshness of the meat, and is one of the reasons our fish never tastes "fishy."

The properly cleaned fish is then rinsed a second time and moved to our fish hold, which is filled with clean ocean water and slush ice, and maintains a temperature of 32-36°F due to the salt and ice.

This is our process, pure and simple. We treat every fish we catch like it will feed our family, because in some ways you are. After all, we wouldn't be doing this without you.

Thank you for being part of our small Alaskan fishing family business.

3/4 lb. packages of spot prawns are back!

Wild-caught Alaskan spot prawns are known for their naturally sweet flavor and firm, tender texture. They’re rich enough to be a main dish but sturdy enough for pasta, grilling, sautéing, or a simple sauce. Connor's favorite way to make them is a quick pan-fry with lemon and butter.

Catch yours at Prescott, Sedona, and Uptown Farmers Markets this weekend or visit our store in Gold Canyon.

From our roots in Southeast Alaska to our new home in Central Arizona, we’re proud to bring you wild-caught seafood you can trust. We handle every fish we bring to you with the same standard of care we’ve followed for decades, and that’s a difference you can taste. Have questions? Meet us at your local farmers market!

New to wild-caught Alaskan seafood? Here's a short list of what we offer and our suggestions for preparing it.

The best part about good, clean seafood is it doesn't need much! A little oil or butter, some lemon, a few seasonings, and you're set.

If this is your first time meeting us, we're a small family-owned fishing business with deep ties to Alaska.

We (Jim and Chelsea) moved to Alaska as toddlers and have worked in the commercial fishing industry since we were teenagers. Our kids' first boat ride was returning home from the hospital after they were born. After 35 years living and working in Petersburg, we left Alaska to be closer to family in Arizona.

You can take the fisherman out of Alaska, but it's hard to leave that kind of seafood behind.

We continue to fish the cold, clean waters of Southeast Alaska to bring you the same seafood that we grew up eating. We also work with fishermen, fishing families, and trusted seafood partners in Alaska who share our respect for the resource and our commitment to quality.

Thank you for taking a moment to get to know us. We hope to meet you at one of our farmers' market locations soon!

- Jim, Chelsea, Connor, Aurelia, & Nora

The best part about wild-caught Alaskan seafood? It doesn’t need much.

When seafood comes from cold, clean waters (ahem, Alaska) it has a completely unique flavor. There is a natural, subtle sweetness to the meat that even non-seafood eaters fall in love with.

If you’ve visited us at one of our farmers market locations, you’ve probably heard us tell people our seafood is mild. What does that mean? It means our seafood never tastes fishy.

Seafood only becomes “fishy” because it wasn’t handled with proper care and attention. We, and the select group of people we work with, treat every fish like it was destined for our dinner plate. That means careful handling, timely processing, and making sure our standards are met every single step of the way, from the moment the fish is pulled from the water until we hand it to you at the market.

The bad news: We will not be at Uptown Farmers Market this weekend. If you're planning on going, heads up! The location changed for the 10th only.
The good news: We will be there EVERY Saturday starting the 17th!

You asked. We listened. We’re bringing our wild-caught Alaskan seafood to Prescott Valley!

Now you can find us every 2nd and 4th Sunday at the new Prescott Valley Farmers Market located at the Civic Center on Skoog Blvd (to the left of the library).

If you haven’t visited us before, here’s some fast facts:

We’re from Petersburg, Alaska. We’ve spent our lives in the commercial fishing industry. Jim grew up fishing with his dad and bought the North Star after he finished high school.

All of our seafood is wild-caught from southeast Alaska.

If we don’t catch it ourselves, we know the folks who did. We grew up with them, and trust them to maintain our commitment to bringing you the best seafood we can catch.

We look forward to meeting you soon!
