The premium parts of the Wild Youkon Salmon is immediately disemboweled on board of the troller and stored on ice. Our wild salmon is mainly fished by the troller (Fishing boat). Worldwide only 2 % percent of the wild salmon is fished via this method. The troller has two backside arms, on which fishing lines with weights on them are fixated to keep them under water. On each fishing line there are 8 nylonstrings with a fishhook attached. We fish with live bait and multicoloured blinkers.

The boat is moving at the same speed as the wild salmon is swimming. Immediately after the fish takes a bite, which the fisher notices by a little bell on the fishing rod, the fisherman seeks the leash to his boot but lets the salmon swim in the water until he has calmed down. It´s very important for the taste, to bring the salmon gently into the boat. He is disemboweled by hand, to maintain the nutritive factors instantly filled up with ice and stored chilled under deck. Every fish is treated individualy, their scales stay unblemished and the fish have no pressure markes.

By plane our wild salmon is sent to our processing factory in Vancouver, on the westcoast of Canada. The delivery logistics by air are complex, but relatively cheap because Alaska is daily supplied by this way of transportation with fresh food and the return flights are normaly empty.
