► Potential supply challenges or near-term price increases
▼ Current supply challenges and price increases

► King Salmon (Wild) – The Southeast Alaska spring 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 is now available.

▲ Halibut – The 2026 season has officially started, with first fish hitting the market this week. Opening prices are trending above prior-year levels as suppliers react to a smaller overall quota versus last season. In addition, there appears to be minimal, if any, frozen carryover inventory remaining from the 2025 pack. 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.

▲ Rock Fish – Supply is steady. The primary catch area is British Columbia.

▲ 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.

▲ West Coast Dungeness crab fishery across Washington, Oregon, and California has now been landed. Preliminary estimates indicate total landings are trending below prior-season levels. Despite the lighter catch, crabmeat availability remains strong as processors continue to work through production and frozen inventories remain in a healthy position. Near-term supply on picked crabmeat is expected to stay stable, with the lower overall harvest likely having more impact on longer-term pricing than immediate availability.

▲ Atlantic Salmon – Surging jet fuel costs have materially increased the cost of fresh Atlantic salmon imported from Norway and Chile. In response, farms in British Columbia have also moved pricing higher as demand has shifted toward domestic West Coast supply. Our view is that the recent round of increases has likely overshot sustainable end-user acceptance levels, and we expect the market to moderate once seasonal Lenten demand subsides.

▲ 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 on the larger end of the size range, averaging approximately 12 pounds. Unlike 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. Kusshi oysters are currently not available. Supply for all shucked products remains steady. Customers planning large orders should contact their sales representative in advance to ensure availability.
