Iliamna Fish Shares Are Back in 2023

I consider spring to be “the most wonderful time of the year” when it comes to being able to order salmon shares from Iliamna Fish Co. This multi-generational family-owned cooperative fishes in Bristol Bay, Alaska, and opened access to ordering their Portland shares today. If you like salmon, this is a great opportunity to access high-quality fish in a community supported fashion.

Hey, There’s Cod This Year!

The Alaskan Cod is new this year, and here’s a little background on that:

“We are offering wild Alaskan cod from a special long-line vessel that is owned by the Bristol Bay Native Corporation (of which some of us are shareholders). This vessel has a state-of-the-art fillet machine on board allowing it to produce the freshest cod fillets available. The cod is MSC certified sustainable, and a Seafood Watch ‘best choice’ option due to the careful harvesting and biologically sound management practices.”

Iliamna Fish Shares Are Good for You

You can read my post from last year about Iliamna and their fishing practices. I got some of the canned salmon last year and absolutely loved it. It’s a quick, easy source of delicious high-quality protein—so convenient. The introduction of the Alaska Cod share into the mix is also exciting.

This is now my thirteenth year as a salmon share customer and am truly happy that Iliamna continues to offer their sockeye salmon and more each year. To access their products, sign up here. Portland orders are being taken now (order here) and their other locations around the country will be able to order soon. New this year location-wise are one or two pickups during our summer season in Ridgefield or Vancouver in Washington.

So much good news! I hope you will check them out.
