The fresher the salmon, the richer the flavor. When you buy so–called "fresh" salmon from the store, it really may not be all that fresh. Many suppliers leave their nets in the water for hours and hours and then deliver to plants that may hold their fish for several days before processing. Our fishers limit their set times to one hour and then rush to the plant for immediate processing.

But that's not all we do to ensure the salmon that leave our facilities are the freshest possible. We bleed and chill our fish with great care as soon as they're removed from the water. These steps drastically lessen bacterial growth and assure a longer shelf life, eliminating that occasional 'fishy' bite.

We also use state–of–the–art Sunwell Deep Chill ice systems for the fastest chilling possible. Proper chilling helps protect the healthy omega 3–rich fat layer and locks in and preserves the unique flavor of Cook Inlet Salmon.

Kenai River Seafoods is an Alaska Quality Seafood–certified plant, staffed with two previous seafood inspectors. Alaska Quality Seafood requires that stringent quality and handling guidelines are followed by fishers and in the plant, each step of the way. All products are inspected previous to packaging, to verify proper handling. We then seal them in 7mm–thick roll–stock vacuum packaging which minimizes leakage and freezer burn, greatly extending the shelf–life of the product.

Our fish are the best, but don't just take our word. Some of our fish, submitted under the Kenai Wild brand, were recently awarded the Gold Medal for Taste in a triple–blind taste test at Chefs of America!

“The best fish coming out of Cook Inlet runs right through Kenai River Seafoods. Their use of live bleed tanks on their fishing vessels starts a process that yields the highest quality. They consistently put up a premium pack.”
