► King Salmon (Wild) – The Southeast Alaska winter troll fishery is open. As in past years, landings are projected to be limited, and supply availability will remain tight.

▲ Refresh King Salmon (Wild) – Re-fresh King salmon is available daily, with new season production now reaching the market. Customers should prepare for higher, though stable, pricing as this winter.

▲ Refresh Sockeye – Refresh sockeye is now available daily. Customers interested in adding sockeye to their menus should contact Northern Fish to discuss weekly demand levels.

► Refresh Coho Salmon (Wild) – Refreshed product will be available next week.

• Halibut – The 2025 fresh Alaskan halibut season is now closed. The new season is expected to open in early to mid-March, with official dates to be confirmed following the IPHC meetings in late January.

► Halibut (Winter Inventory) – Refreshed halibut is available now. Customers should anticipate a significant gap between refreshed 1–3 lb. and 3–5 lb. fillets. Landings this period showed greater abundance of 10–20 lb. fish compared to 20–40 lb. fish, which will impact available fillet size ranges.

WINTER GROUND FISH NOTE - Customers are encouraged to review daily availability sheets and communicate with Northern Fish regarding any large fresh orders to ensure timely fulfillment.

► Rock Fish – Winter weather is now a major factor affecting product availability.

► Dover Sole – Winter weather is now a major factor affecting product availability.

► Pacific (True) Cod – The Alaska state-sponsored jig-gear fishery opened on January 1 with prices reaching near record highs. The federal ‘A-season’ Pacific cod fishery is expected to open on or about January 20, 2026.

► Ling Cod – Winter weather is now a major factor affecting product availability.

► Sablefish (Black Cod) – The 2025 fresh Alaskan sablefish season is now closed. The new season is expected to open in early to mid-March, with official dates to be confirmed following the IPHC meetings in late January. Limited product remains available from Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia.

▲ Dungeness Crab – The 2025/2026 Dungeness crab season is now open in Washington and Oregon, while the northern California season remains delayed and is expected to open sometime in February. Crab meat and frozen sections are currently in good supply. Customers should expect a modest price increase from Q4 levels; however, pricing remains well below last year’s opening levels.

▲ Atlantic Salmon – West Coast salmon farms remain offline, with production expected to resume in the first week of February. The recent price run-up appears to have peaked as post-holiday demand declines.

▲ King Salmon (Farmed) – The supply of Creative™ Farm Kings is now steady.
