Norton Sound Red King Crab
Just have one taste of Norton Sound Red King Crab and you will know why it stands out from the rest—you will not find crab with sweeter flavor! Featuring tender white meat, our red king crab’s smaller size gives it its sweeter taste.
Norton Sound Red King Crab is the only Alaska king crab harvested during the summer months, making it an exclusive offering. It’s available live or frozen during the summer season. Independent resident fishers begin catching Norton Sound Red King Crab in late June. They deliver their catch live and in small quantities to our facility in Nome, where the majority of the product is cleaned, cooked, and flash-frozen in clusters of leg sections. A small portion of the catch is reserved for live sales.
Norton Sound Halibut
Harvested in the wild, icy waters of northwest Alaska, Norton Sound Halibut is a premium offering. This high-quality whitefish is delivered to our plant within hours of being caught, and processed immediately for the freshest possible product. Available both fresh and frozen, Norton Sound Halibut features pure white, flaky meat and a delicate flavor each and every time.
Halibut are among the largest fish in the sea and the biggest of all flatfish. They can grow to more than 8 feet in length and weigh several hundred pounds. No one knows this better than our fleet of independent, resident fishers in Savoonga who haul in these monsters one at a time in small skiffs! Anyone who has landed a halibut by hand knows the hard work it takes to get one into the boat. Our hard-working fishers do it day after day during the season!
Norton Sound Halibut is prized for its delicate, sweet flavor; snow-white color; and firm, flaky meat. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein and minerals; low in sodium, fat and calories; and contains minimal bones. Beyond being healthy and delicious, halibut is an extremely versatile fish that can be prepared in a wide variety of ways. Baked, broiled, seared or fried, Norton Sound Halibut is always a hit at the table!
Norton Sound Salmon
No fish or seafood product is more associated with Alaska than salmon—and for good reason. Salmon play a huge role in nearly all corners of the state in terms of culture, diet and economics.
Our resident salmon fishers work from small skiffs, harvesting their catch from set nets primarily in eastern Norton Sound. Small harvests and careful handling make for a premium catch. Quick delivery to our seafood facility in Unalakleet, or to specially equipped tender vessels, ensures high quality as our Norton Sound Salmon is prepared for market. The resident fishers delivering to Norton Sound Seafood Products harvest wild coho (silver) and chum salmon.
Coho salmon feature a firm, orange-red flesh and delicate flavor. They are the second largest of the salmon species and are popular for both conventional preparation and smoking. For anglers, coho are perhaps the most popular salmon species due to their eagerness to bite and aggressiveness once hooked. Chum are popular for drying or smoking in the Norton Sound region. Norton Sound Seafood Products primarily sells our chum salmon to wholesale customers.
All species of salmon are a healthy source of protein, vitamins, essential minerals and Omega-3 fish oils. A wide range of studies tie Omega-3s to a variety of health benefits, including areas such as blood pressure and coronary health. Wild Norton Sound Salmon is not simply great to eat, it’s also great for you!
Salmon is additionally beneficial for the communities of the Norton Sound region. More fishers participate in harvesting salmon than any other fishery in Norton Sound. Salmon fishing is a vitally important economic opportunity in our corner of Alaska, and our resident fishers take great pride in delivering premium, high-quality fish. You will taste the difference!
