Step 1 – Join our wait list and get an email with your scheduled catch dates when your fish will be coming over the rail.
Step 2 – We will contact you 24 to 48 hours before your assigned catch date to confirm your fish reservation.
Step 3 – You will get a text with a picture of your fish, and what time we will be returning to the dock. Along with a payment link.
Step 4 – Collect your salmon that day at the Santa Cruz Harbor, or at our warehouse on Soquel & 41st. Next day shipping available on request.
Step 5 – Enjoy your fresh local meal. This amazing local resource provides us with some of the healthiest, nutrient-packed food for you and your family. Vacuum sealing and fillet services are available post-purchase if needed.
That all depends on what fish comes over the rail when it’s your turn. The smallest legal-sized King (Chinook) Salmon is 8 pounds. The average fish is around 12 pounds; the largest fish we get is about #30. Anything bigger and you consider yourself lucky.
So expect to pay around $130 to $300 per whole fish. We only sell whole fish, as required by state law, which is great, as you can add nutrients to yourself and your garden. The entire salmon can be cooked and used; none should go to waste.
Ask about fillet and vacuum-sealing services that are available after the purchase of a whole fish. That’s for some silly legal reason. Salmon freezes very well, and all salmon should be frozen before eating raw for health reasons. Frozen, it can keep for around a year. Keep you and your family fed with the freshest, healthiest, fattiest salmon at a very affordable price of around 60-50% cheaper than retail.
