► Potential supply challenges or near-term price increases
▼ Current supply challenges and price increases
► 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) – Frozen at Sea and refresh product is available now. Product is from Haida Gwaii of the coast of British Columbia (BC).
► Coho Salmon (Wild) – Coho continues to trickle in with gillnet landings coming out of Willapa Harbor and Puget Sound. Customers can expect solid availability for a couple more weeks.
▲ Halibut – Halibut supply is steady.
▼ Halibut (Winter Inventory) – The first quotes for frozen H&G halibut are starting to surface, showing prices up 20–25% compared to last year. Frozen H&G halibut serves as the primary raw material for refreshed halibut fillets.
▲ 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 and frozen sections (clusters) are currently in good supply, and pricing has declined across all product forms.
Early test results suggest the 2025/2026 Dungeness season may open sooner than anticipated. Northern Fish will share additional updates toward the end of the month.
► Atlantic Salmon – Global supply is expected to tighten as the agricultural season in Chile ramps up. During this period, the availability of air freight capacity for seafood exports from Chile is reduced. In addition, we expect West Coast farms to slow down harvest rates, like last year. Both factors indicate upward price pressure as we move into December.
▲ 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 is now steady.
▲ 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 Northern Fish’s daily availability updates.
Supply for all shucked products remains steady. Customers planning large orders should contact their sales representative in advance to ensure availability.
