▲ King Salmon (Wild) – The Washington troll season is open coast wide, with primary landings in Westport and Neah Bay. Prices remain elevated on lower than anticipated landings.

▲ Refresh King Salmon (Wild) – Refresh King Salmon is available daily. This product offers a reliable option for those looking to menu wild King Salmon with more stable pricing.

▲ Sockeye – New Season Production - The Copper River continues to produce strong volumes, and additional harvest areas—Kodiak, Resurrection Bay, and Barkley Sound (Canada)—are now shipping product to market.

Encouragingly, the Copper River run appears stronger than forecast, with over 400,000 fish counted at the Miles Lake sonar compared to an expected 276,000 fish.

Sockeye production typically peaks around the 4th of July. Prices remain strong, though the market is expecting some relief over the next 10–15 days.

▲ 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).

Fresh Coho typically begin arriving in the market during the first or second week of August, with initial landings coming out of Southeast Alaska. The Washington gillnet season starts in September and can extend into late October.

► Halibut – Halibut supply remains tight, with prices rising steadily over the past six weeks. Frozen inventory is scarce, keeping dock prices elevated as processors struggle to build their winter pack. Fishing efforts has declined as many deckhands shift to salmon fisheries in Bristol Bay and other regions.

▲ Rock Fish – Rock Fish supply is steady.

▲ Dover Sole – Dover sole supply is steady.

► True Cod – Supply is somewhat erratic. The primary catch area remains Canada.

▲ Ling Cod – Ling cod supply is steady.

▲ Sablefish (Black Cod) – Sablefish supply is steady.

▲ Dungeness Crab – Crab meat is currently in good supply, along with frozen whole cooked crab and clusters. Pricing has softened on both crab meat and clusters.

▲ Atlantic Salmon – The Atlantic salmon market has returned to manageable price levels, driven primarily by strong production from British Columbia farms. While tariffs on Chilean and Norwegian product were expected to result in sustained higher costs, the volume of Canadian supply has effectively offset these concerns.

▲ 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) – The supply of Creative™ Farm Kings will begin to decline as the farm reduces its harvest schedule from three days a week to two.

▲ Manila Clams – Manila clam supply remains steady. However, we are entering the time of year when hot weather begins to impact shelf life. Customers are encouraged to order only what is needed to carry them through to their next delivery. If you'd like assistance educating your customers on best practices to help mitigate heat-related loss, Northern Fish is happy to help. Please note that when temperatures exceed 80°F for multiple days, some dead loss should be expected.

► Oysters – Capital Oysters are back in stock on an intermittent basis. We recommend switching to Sequim Bay Sapphire or Island Sweets as alternatives. Supply for all other products remains steady. Customers planning large orders should contact their sales representative in advance to ensure availability.
