Our story

We have over 50 Combined years of experience in Alaska’s fishing industries, spanning multiple generations, Vessels, Gear Types and areas.

Pete Jenkins, my father, began growing his family fishing business the same year I was born, 1999. He started with one boat, one permit, and vision of expanding and providing for his family. At 7 years old I began helping him prep gear, catch fish and sell them. Almost 25 years later, we have seen that single boat turn into five, and the permit has give way to many more and thousands of pounds of harvestable quota.

Our experience includes harvesting all species of Wild Pacific Salmon, Wild Alaskan Halibut, Wild Alaskan Cod, Wild Alaskan Rockfish and Wild Alaskan Spot Prawns. We have used drift gillnets, set gillnets, longlines, pots and a variety of different shapes and sizes of boats to harvest them. Pete has overseen four different operations for the various aforementioned species, and I myself have overseen one. This diverse background and experience in the industry has allowed us to explore the best ways to preserve quality and freshness in all of our different species.

Now, this quality and ocean freshness is what we strive to provide our customers in every product that we offer. It is our mission to pass this unparalleled standard to our customers and allow them to enjoy Wild Alaskan Seafood the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Thank You.
