Alaskan coho salmon sides are on sale this weekend, December 14-16, 2018, for $9.99/lb. Mark Hofmann, owner of Troller Point Fisheries, shared this information about his family’s fishery:
Do you know where your fish comes from? Well some of it comes to Weaver Street from us, Troller Point Fisheries. We have been producing hook-and-line caught wild Alaskan salmon, halibut, and black cod for 25 years now. Every summer while other families are vacationing, we are rolling around Alaska’s coast on our 52-foot boat, the F/V Ocean Oasis, chasing after the ocean’s bounty.
Alaska has managed its fisheries to be the envy of the world for sustainability. Although hook-and-line fishing is a time consuming process, it produces the very finest quality. We are lucky enough to make a living in arguably one of the most beautiful, wild places on earth. Kyle and April, our children, have experienced the beauty and power of nature over their many summers on our boat.
Each summer and fall, we harvest some very nice coho salmon: thick bellies, firm bright orange flesh, and high in omega-3 oils. We hope you appreciate our efforts and will enjoy the rich flavor of our wild Alaskan seafood. We thought you might like to know a little bit more about where your fish comes from and who harvests it.
