"A local, community-supported fishery, Drifters Fish offers smoked, preserved and tinned 2019 sockeye that Williams recommends as a good appetizer or salad topping, and customers can also reserve a salmon share for the upcoming Copper River season." - Gabe Guarente

Boosting America’s Regional Farms in the Era of Big Food | Eater

"Launched in 2014 by Michael and Nelly Hand with a 31-foot vessel, this Alaska-based fishing business focused on smoothing the seasonal boom-bust cycle by producing year-round revenue: selling fresh salmon in season, pre-selling frozen salmon for fall delivery, and smoking fish to offer product throughout the year. While not yet highly profitable, the owners view value-added processing as a tool to weather poor seasons and add income when salmon returns are small, even though canning and smoking entail significant expenses." - Virginia Gewin

I should have written this a long time ago but I live in Northern California and while we have an abundance of great seafood here I love the smoked fish from Drifters. Everything is so good and it truly is something that was caught and made by hand that season. I love the attention to detail and respect how hard it is to do this kind of work and create a great product consistently. Haven’t ordered in a bit but will make sure to do so soon. Thank you! Also can’t eat the hats but love them too!

Have ordered 5lb and 10lb boxes of salmon to get us through the winter when fresh salmon is hard to come by. The fish quality is much better than any other frozen salmon I've had. Also, have ordered the 5lb bags of spot prawns. Love having them in my freezer for a variety of dinners.

I am a Drifters Fish addict! I love the tinned salmon. Divine. Anxious to try the flash-frozen products. They look incredible and I just know they are. These folks know their stuff and I admire their ethos and labor of love. You can taste it in the products.
