About Us
There was a time when people knew who grew their produce, butchered their meat, and caught their seafood. Now you can, once again, know your fisherman.
Wild Bay Seafood Company traces its origins back to 1997, the year we purchased the fishing vessel, βMaggie Lynnβ named after our only daughter β Maggie. Located in Gig Harbor and Bellingham, Washington, we are a small family fishing operation with only our son and daughter on deck. Every summer we fish commercially for wild sockeye salmon in Bristol Bay, Alaska, and in the fall and winter months we direct market our catch. We began selling only to local restaurants and specialty grocers, but now that same high quality fish is available to you.
Bristol Bay is the worldβs largest sockeye salmon fishery, responsibly managed by the state of Alaska to maintain sustainability. No other fishery matches the standard of sustainability set by Bristol Bay. All of the seafood that we offer is wild and sustainable, so you can take care of your health while benefiting the health of the planet.
