What Kind of Fish Makes the Best Grilled Fish Tacos?
Wild Caught Alaskan Cod was perfect for our fish tacos. Any firm white fish will work. Cod is a great option and you can not beat the freshness of the fish that comes from Sitka Salmon. The texture and flavor is above and beyond anything I’ve ever picked up from the grocery store.
Sitka Salmon Shares Story
Sitka Salmon Shares is built around a humble collective of committed fishermen that put quality first, handling fish one at a time, with respect and care. It’s their livelihood, afterall, and many of our fishermen have been using these highly selective, small-batch fishing methods for generations. Read on to know your fishermen—from how they got started, why they love life on the open water and why they are part of Sitka Salmon Shares.
Ten seasons ago we set out to “do salmon differently.” At that time, doing things differently seemed simple. We brought blast-frozen, wild-caught Alaskan salmon directly from a few small-boat fishermen to members of our Community Supported Fishery (CSF) in the Midwest. In return, our members got higher-quality fish than they could find at a grocery store while supporting community-centered, small-boat fishermen who harvested their fish one-at-a-time on hook-and-line.
You can feel good about buying Sitka Salmon Shares, which are wild-caught from the pristine waters of Southeast Alaska and the North Pacific and delivered right to your door with no contact delivery.
