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. Customers should expect pricing to range from the mid to high teens per pound for head-on fish.

▲ 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).

▼ Coho Salmon (Wild) – The Washington Coho season has effectively ended, with only a few fish being landed during the late fall Chum Salmon run.

► Wild Halibut – The fresh wild season will close on December 7. Weather will be the primary factor affecting availability. The first frozen offerings of the year have begun to reach the market, with prices remaining firm and higher than at this time last year.
► Rock Fish – Weather is now a factor and will impact fishing conditions. Please check daily for availability. Customers seeking consistency in both price and supply should consider IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) options. Primary catch area is British Columbia.
► Dover Sole – Dover sole is primarily caught using bottom trawl nets, and the effectiveness of this method is heavily influenced by wave heights on the fishing grounds. Please check daily for availability. The primary catch area is along the Oregon Coast.

▼ True Cod –Availability will be erratic. Primary catch area is British Columbia.

► Ling Cod – Availability will be erratic. Primary catch area is British Columbia.

► Sablefish (Black Cod) – Supply will become more erratic as the Washington fleet begins switching fishing gear for the upcoming Dungeness crab season.

► Dungeness Crab – Crabmeat is readily available. However, industry feedback indicates that most packers currently have limited inventory, which is likely to drive new season prices upward. Current crab testing suggests that the bulk of the season will begin in late December or early January.

▲ Snow Crab – Supply is strong from eastern Canada.

► King Crab – Product is very limited.

AQUACULTURE

► Atlantic Salmon – The salmon market is expected to experience significant volatility over the next six weeks due to disruptions in major production regions. In Chile, two major processors are currently offline, impacting supply. Additionally, while Western Canada continues to produce salmon, irregular harvest schedules have contributed to market fluctuations. To maintain consistent supply levels for our customers, we will continue sourcing salmon from Canada, Chile, and Norway.

▲ 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.

▲ Manila Clams – Manila clam supply remains steady.

▲ Oysters – Supply is steady for small and extra small in-shell products. However, medium in-shell oysters remain limited. Sellers are encouraged to contact Northern Fish for any new business opportunities.
