▼ King Salmon (Wild) – All king salmon fisheries in Washington and Alaska have effectively wrapped up for the season. The next opportunity for fresh wild kings will come with the winter troll fishery in Southeast Alaska, which typically begins in mid- October. These fish generally command much higher prices due to limited landings.

► Refresh King Salmon (Wild) – Refreshed king salmon will be available in the next few weeks. Customers who feature this item on their menus are encouraged to contact Northern Fish so we can allocate product appropriately.

▼ Fresh - Sockeye Salmon (Wild) – Fresh sockeye season wrapped up a couple of weeks ago. Season totals have not yet been finalized, but wholesale prices reached record highs as buyers scrambled to fill winter programs. Fresh sockeye will be available again just after Mother’s Day in May 2027.

► Re-Fresh - Sockeye Salmon (Wild) – Northern Fish will begin offering refreshed sockeye fillets in the coming weeks. Prices continue to trend higher year over year.

▲ Coho Salmon (Wild) – Washington continues to produce net-caught coho. The season typically runs through at least mid-October. The primary catch areas are South Puget Sound, Grays Harbor, Willapa Bay, and the Columbia River.

▲ Halibut – Fresh halibut supply is steady but increasingly weather-dependent. Areas 2C and 3A have roughly 20% of their combined quota remaining, about 1.7 million pounds, though 900,000 pounds went unharvested last year. Northern Fish expects strong pricing through the December 7 season close.

► Rockfish – During fall and winter fresh rockfish supply becomes more weather-dependent. Rough seas can limit fishing activity and delay landings, creating periodic gaps in fresh availability. The primary catch area is British Columbia. We are beginning to see pressure on supply as customers seek alternatives to Pacific cod, whose prices continue to rise.

► Dover Sole – During fall and winter fresh Dover sole supply becomes more weather-dependent. The fish are harvested by bottom trawlers, and rough seas can limit fishing activity and delay landings. Northern Fish sources primarily from the Oregon coast.

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

► Ling Cod – Supply is sporadic. 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 has experienced significant price increases, as only one West Coast farm is currently producing. Norwegian and Chilean product is expected to help fill the gap. Northern Fish is sourcing from all three regions to mitigate potential supply shortages.

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

▲ King Salmon (Farmed) – Supply of Creative™ Farm Kings remains steady, with current fish sizes weighted toward the 6–8 and 8–10 pound ranges.

▲ Manila Clams – The warm weather of August and September has passed, and clam shelf life has returned to normal.

▲ 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
