► 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 is not currently available. Troll-caught, frozen-at-sea product is being offered at prices 35–40% higher than this time last year. Customers seeking substitutions or alternative species are encouraged to contact Northern Fish.

• 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 will be available starting the week of December 14. 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.
