King Salmon (Wild) – The Washington troll season has now officially wrapped up along the coast. The last few net-caught kings were landed earlier this week, marking the close of the season.

Looking north, the Southeast Alaska winter troll fishery is expected to open in mid-October. 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 is in strong supply. Gillnet landings are coming out of Willapa Harbor and Puget Sound. Customers can expect solid availability through late October.

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.

Atlantic Salmon – Overall supply remains steady. However, the sizing mix between 6–10 lb fish and 10 lb+ fish has been erratic, leading to a compressed price spread between sizes. This is expected to normalize as farms transition to new harvest sites.

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 – The excessive heat of summer has largely passed improving the shelf life of manilas. If you’d like support educating customers on best practices to reduce heat-related 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.
