Frequently Asked Questions
Is your seafood wild-caught?
Yes! All of our seafood is wild-caught from sustainably-managed fisheries in Alaska. Which means you and your family are getting direct access to the highest quality seafood available - free from pesticides and any unhealthy side effects that can come with farm-raised fish.
Is your seafood fresh or frozen?
When it comes to wild-caught seafood, frozen actually means fresh. Flash freezing is the safest and most effective way to ensure our fillets retain high nutritional content as well as clean, delicious flavor by the time they get to your dinner table. It's the next best thing to eating it right off the boat!
Do I have to be home for delivery?
You do not! Our goal is to fit your lifestyle and schedule. Your seafood arrives in a box perfectly sized to your order and with plenty of dry ice to keep your product frozen until you get home later that night. And you'll always receive an email letting you know when your fish is expected to arrive.
Fun Fact: We actually track weather conditions in our delivery zones to make sure we're packing the right quantities of ice.
When will I receive my order?
We ship our orders out twice weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays via 2-day shipping. You will receive tracking information via email/text with expected date of delivery.
How do I thaw my fish once I'm ready to eat it?
We recommend thawing our fish in one of two ways:
- Move your vacuum-sealed fish from your freezer to the fridge and leave overnight. It takes no effort except a little planning!
- Or, if you forget or something comes up... just place the frozen, vacuum-sealed fish in a bowl of cold water for 10-15 minutes. No problem!
Can I really eat your fish raw?
Absolutely! In fact, it's our favorite way to eat our salmon and halibut. Our seafood is "sushi-grade" meaning it's safe to eat raw in sushi, sashimi, or ceviche dishes. We comply with FDA requirements to store our fish at -30 for at least 15 hours to help eliminate the risk of foodborne illness and parasites.
Why is wild-caught seafood preferable to farm-raised?
There's sometimes a misconception that consuming fish from farms is a good solution to overfishing, since their wild relatives will be left in the sea. However, there are unsustainable and unhealthy downsides to fish farms, plus the fish just doesn't taste as good. Our Alaskan salmon and seafood are responsibly harvested from the wild Alaskan waters and never processed overseas.
What is sustainable fishing?
Sustainable fishing is when fishing is done in a matter that promotes the long-term health and population of the local fish and marine environment. Fishing in a way that avoids depleting fish population, bycatch, and sensitive habitats. As human’s we must support sustainable fishing to ensure that future generations have access to healthy and abundant seafood. At Alaskan Salmon Company, we prioritize transparency in the seafood industry and strive to lead this movement.
