Hi there!
It's not Lake Erie, but these delicious wild-caught salmon are as "local" as we can source.
There are some things that we will never source locally here, salmon being one of them, however we wanted to offer you all access to an amazing Salmon Buying Club to get the best quality, best priced fish.
The Wild Salmon Co. is a family-run business based in Asheville, NC, and we heard about it through some of our subscribers a few years back. Heidi (see below!) lives 9 months of the year in Asheville, but grew up in Seattle, and her family has always fished salmon in Alaska. When she was 15, her dad bought her a commercial fishing permit for one of the fisheries in Alaska, and she has fished every summer since. Their fishery is internationally certified as Sustainable from the Marine Stewardship Council, and they go to great lengths to make sure their fishing, packing and shipping practices are environmentally responsible. The product is sushi grade, IQF frozen, and we get all center-cut fillets. The quality is fantastic and very reasonably priced. Click here to learn more about their practices and why we think they're such a cool operation.
"We are dedicated to the notion that we should all know where our food comes from; that it strengthens our community and our biosphere when we buy sustainable, locally-sourced food.... Responsible seafood choices equal healthy oceans. As fishermen, we strive to educate people about the sustainability of wild Alaska seafood and especially wild salmon."
