▲ Sockeye – New Season Production – The Bristol Bay sockeye return exceeded expectations. Final pricing for frozen product from the new season remains uncertain, driven by ongoing volatility in the export market.
We continue to see a steady stream of fresh sockeye out of Alaska, with Cook Inlet remaining the primary catch area.
▲ 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).

► King Salmon (Farmed) – The supply of Creative™ Farm Kings has declined as the farm reduced its harvest schedule from three days a week to two.

Please note: when temperatures exceed 80°F for multiple consecutive days, some dead loss should be expected.
► Oysters – Supply for most bed-specific product is currently adequate, and we encourage customers to review Northern Fish’s daily availability updates.
