Our cold-smoked wild sockeye salmon is a small-batch specialty sourced from the pristine waters of Bristol Bay, Alaska through Smart Source Seafood.
It’s carefully handled, transparently sourced, and crafted for families who want truly clean, trustworthy seafood.
This salmon is fully cold-smoked and ready to eat, so it can be enjoyed straight from the package with no cooking required.
The texture is silky and rich, with a savory, slightly sweet finish that works just as well for quick snacks as it does for thoughtful meals.
Each summer, our friends Mike & Maddie harvest sockeye aboard their 32-foot fishing boat, the F/V Courageous.
Every fish is hand-picked from the net, bled, and chilled within minutes, then vacuum-packed and flash-frozen at -30°F to lock in freshness.
After harvest, the salmon is cold-smoked locally in Homer, Alaska by fellow fisherman Penelope Haas (F/V Kustatan, Cook Inlet, AK) using birch smoke.
This small-batch process preserves the natural character of wild sockeye without overpowering it.
