Fishing is over, but I made sure I kept some to offer to our customers during the off-season!  I personally caught and cared for every single one of these fish.  All the processing was done at small, family-owned processing plants.  No big corporations touch these fish-I keep it as small and local as possible.

Everything below is vacuum-packed and frozen (except the canned salmon, of course).  Smoked products can be held under refrigeration for a time, and are ready to eat.

PINK SALMON FILLETS     $5.00/lb

I just broke out the pink salmon fillets I had done up this summer, and they are awesome!  The guys at Marine View Cold Storage in Burlington did a fabulous job.  I bled and slush-iced these fish, which I caught in Skagit Bay, and they were under the knife at the fish plant the next morning.  I just cooked these up at the Slow Food meeting at our house the other day and they were outstanding-they are a steal of a deal at only $5.00/lb.

SMOKED PINK SALMON FILLETS           $10.00/lb

These are super-yummy.  As soon as these were cut at the cold storage plant, I ran them right over to the smokehouse (Silvana Meats) and they were in the brine that evening-less than 24-hours after I caught them!  They are vacuum-packed in full sides (½ to ¾ pounds each), and at only $10.00/lb they are the deal of the day.

SOCKEYE SALMON FILLETS                    $9.00/lb

I caught these fish in Bristol Bay, picked out the beauty-contest winners, then brought them to a small processor located in Naknek (Alaska Wild Salmon and Seafood).  These fish were so fresh they had to leave the pin-bones in, since they need 48-hours to "relax" so the pin-bones can be pulled.  The guy who processed these fish processes and sells his entire catch, and his crew of six guys processes them all!

CANNED SMOKED SOCKEYE, skinless     $7.00 per can

I flew my Bristol Bay sockeye over to Indian Valley Smokehouse near Anchorage and they lightly smoked, then canned my fish in juicy little chunks.  There is so much flavor in this unassuming can it is amazing.  The cans have the smokehouse label on them, but it is 100% my fish in the can.

SMOKED BLACKCOD (SABLEFISH)         $18.00/lb        

Talk about yummy-yum-if you know how good smoked blackcod is then I need not say another word.  This stuff is so rich and omega-3 oily it is mind-blowing.  A special treat I've been holding back for the holiday season.  Vacuum packed in half-pound(ish) chunks or full sides.

EGGS EGGS EGGS

The Marinkovich Family Layers, our team of dedicated hens, have been quite productive lately and are producing a surplus of eggs.  Our chickens run loose all day, living and eating like a chicken was intended (supplemented by our organic feed so they don't go hungry).  We are offering these eggs for sale for $6.50 per dozen.  This is living proof that if you decide to bring home three or more (they need friends) of those cute little chicks in front of the store, you WILL get eggs.
