Bristol Bay is home to the largest wild sockeye salmon run in the world. The Bristol Bay fishery is sustainably managed to ensure the continued health of wild salmon. Populations are monitored and catches highly regulated so that they are not over fished. We take pride in the fact that we are in a community of fishermen and women who care about our oceans, rivers, lakes and fish.
Wild salmon has been an important part of human diets for millennia. With its high quality protein, it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamin D and supports overall heart, brain, and body health. Sockeye or Red Salmon is our primary product. These 5-10 lb. fish feed “low in the food chain,” mainly on zooplankton and krill. This makes them very low in metals such as mercury, thus one of the safest wild fish to eat. The krill give their flesh the characteristic “red salmon” color; unlike farm raised salmon that are fed pellets, dyes, antibiotics and pesticides.
We take extra care in harvesting, processing, and flash freezing Sterling Wild Salmon. Flash freezing is the best method to maintain quality and freshness of the fish, so you can enjoy that truly rich, robust flavor. Flash freezing also kills bacteria and parasites often found in wild salmon. When you eat raw salmon, it is always flash frozen before consumption. There are so many wonderful ways to enjoy our wild salmon. Check out our RECIPES page for more ideas.
We love fishing and sharing this incredible super food with you! Please enjoy Sterling Wild Salmon from our boats to your table.
Go Wild!
