▼ Current supply challenges and price increases

▲ King Salmon (Wild) – The Washington coast is open for troll-caught king salmon, with Westport, WA, serving as the primary catch area.

▼ Refresh King Salmon (Wild) – Refresh King salmon is not available. Product is expected to be back in stock in the fall.

▲Sockeye Salmon (Wild) - The Copper River sockeye run proved to be exceptionally disappointing this season, with only a few fishing periods granted due to low in-river return numbers. The lack of early returns has caused prices to remain elevated.

Producers out of Bristol Bay are expected to focus on their respective frozen packs, a decision we expect will continue to keep prices elevated. The Bristol Bay fishery is expected to peak within the next few days.

► Refresh Sockeye Salmon – Refresh sockeye is available daily. Northern Fish will keep this product available until fresh wild sockeye pricing declines.

► Coho Salmon (Wild) – The Washington coast troll fishery is now able to retain a limited amount of coho. The bulk of the coho season typically runs from mid-August through at least the end of September.

▲ Halibut –The combination of lower fresh production volume and limited frozen backstock is expected to keep the market elevated through the early part of the season. Buyers should plan for firm pricing and potential availability constraints.

▲ Rockfish – Supply is steady. The primary catch area is British Columbia. We are beginning to see some supply pressure on rockfish due to increased demand, as customers seek alternatives to continued rising Pacific cod prices.

▲ Dover Sole – Supply is steady. The primary catch area is Oregon.

► Pacific (True) Cod – Fresh product is sporadically available.

▲ Ling Cod – Supply is stable. The primary catch area is British Columbia.

▲ Sablefish (Black Cod) – Supply is stable. Primary catch area is Washington.

▲ Dungeness Crab – Crabmeat availability remains strong as processors continue working through healthy frozen inventories. Near-term supply of picked crabmeat is expected to stay stable, with the lower overall harvest likely having a greater impact on long-term pricing than on immediate availability.

► Atlantic Salmon – The Atlantic salmon market is entering a period of rising prices. Supply pressure is expected to continue on the West Coast, with all but one producer going offline near the end of July.

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

▲ King Salmon (Farmed) – Supply on Creative™ Farm Kings is now steady. Current harvests are producing fish at the larger end of the size range, averaging approximately 12 pounds. Unlike in prior years, suppliers expect this larger size profile to remain consistent through June, with the market likely holding at 12 pounds and up before transitioning back to smaller fish later in the summer.

▲ Manila Clams – If you’d like support educating customers on best practices to reduce loss, Northern Fish is happy to assist.

▲ Oysters – Supply for most bed-specific product is currently adequate, and we encourage customers to review daily availability updates.

Supply for all shucked products remains steady. Customers planning large orders should contact their sales representative in advance to ensure availability.
