About Us

Two young kids who met at sea

Ben and I both grew up commercial fishing on the back decks of our father's commercial fishing boats in Bristol Bay, Alaska. Ben started at the age of 8 and I began at 12. As young kids, Ben and I quickly became friends and always looked forward to seeing each other every summer in the bay. Fast forward 25 years and those young kids are now married and continue fishing every summer aboard our own vessel "Ellie Maye" named after our first daughter. Fishing is our passion and way of life. We are humbled to spend our summers on the waters of Bristol Bay harvesting beautiful wild sockeye salmon. We truly believe these salmon are some of the most precious resources this world has to offer. We are proud to share them with you.

When we're not fishing in Bristol Bay, we live in Valdez and share our summer's catch locally throughout Alaska. We're thankful to be surrounded by beautiful mountains and pristine coastlines that allow us to experience the beauty of Alaska and share it with our children.

The cure for anything is saltwater - sweat, tears or the sea
