WILD CAUGHT

► King Salmon (Wild) – The King Salmon fishery has shifted back to Alaska for the winter troll-caught season. These premium fish are in limited supply and are significantly affected by variable fishing conditions.

▲ Refresh King Salmon (Wild) – Refresh King Salmon is now available daily. This product offers a reliable option for those looking to menu wild King Salmon with more stable pricing. To ensure adequate preparation, please contact Northern Fish at least 48 hours prior to your desired ship date to allow sufficient time for thawing.

▲ Refresh Sockeye Salmon (Wild) – Product is available daily.

▲ Refresh Coho Salmon (Wild) – Frozen at Sea and refresh product is available now. Product is from Haida Gwaii of the coast of British Columbia (BC).

▲ Wild Halibut – The 2025 season is now open. Prices started off high then quickly retreated on softer than expected demand.

▲ Rock Fish – Rock Fish supply is steady.

▲ Dover Sole – Dover sole supply is steady.

▲ True Cod – The Alaskan fishing season is now open, and the supply has improved. Weather permitting, the product will be available daily. The primary catch area remains Alaska.

▲ Ling Cod – Availability has improved. Primary catch area is British Columbia.

▲ Sablefish (Black Cod) – Supply conditions have improved substantially, with quotas significantly higher than last year, especially in Washington. We're expecting excellent value in fillets around the 1-pound range

▲ Dungeness Crab – Crabmeat is currently in good supply, along with frozen Whole Cooked crab and sections (clusters). Note: Some crab packers are expected to be extremely limited on crab meat this summer. This creates an excellent opportunity for salespeople to gain market share in the seafood category.

► Snow Crab – Supply is tight as the Eastern Canadian processors and boats participate in price negotiations.

► King Crab – Product is very limited.

AQUACULTURE

► Atlantic Salmon – The Atlantic salmon market remains volatile, particularly for product sourced from Canada. Ongoing uncertainty around tariff negotiations has led many suppliers to shift sourcing to other countries. Processors in those regions, especially Norway, have responded to increased demand by raising prices.

▲ Steelhead, Norway (Farmed) – Product is available, and pricing is stable. The whole fish size is running between 8 to 10 lbs.

▲ King Salmon (Farmed) – The supply of Creative™ Farm Kings is stable. Should tariffs be implemented, pricing for Creative’s product will increase immediately. While farm-raised alternatives from other countries are available, they currently come at significantly higher costs.

The most proactive and cost-effective alternative is to shift to farm-raised steelhead, which remains more stable in both supply and pricing.

▲ Manila Clams – Manila clam supply remains steady.

► Oysters – Kumamoto oysters are currently in very limited supply, but availability is expected to improve this spring. Supply remains steady for all other products. Customers planning to place large orders should contact their sales representative in advance to avoid any surprises.
