Naknek Family Fisheries is a small, family-owned business formed in October 2006 by fishing family members. Their family has been involved with commercial fishing since the sailboat days in the 1950s, and they continue this tradition today. The company adheres to the Alaska Native foodways: appreciation and respect for the renewable natural resources, minimizing waste, and treating people equitably. Their fish is caught by Naknek beach setnetters, primarily family members and people with strong ties to the region and a history of use of the salmon resource. All of their salmon products are hand-cut and treated with the utmost care.

The company handles their products as if they are going to be consumed by their own family, bringing this amazing flavor and quality to you and your family. In order to help empower fishermen in the region, they also offer custom processing services, and license use of the Bristol Bay Wild logo, label, and website for a nominal licensing fee to qualified fishermen who meet their strict quality specifications. All of the fish that is purchased by the company is iced and bled right out of the net, and carefully handled upon delivery. Their fishermen comply with these standards because the company pays them a more competitive price than many of the major processing companies in town and because they are committed to the success of the company.
