| Has anyone bought wild salmon directly from a source in Alaska? Any source ideas? I'd like to have some in the freezer. |

| Yes. I’ve been reasonably happy with alaska home pack. There are a bunch of choices and loved it during the pandemic. Tended to prefer getting it shipped during the winter though. |

Worked salmon harvest in AK in late 80s. The annual run is July/August so anything arriving outside those months will have been frozen. Not saying it’s not worth it, just be aware. Imho AK wild salmon can’t be beat.
Also was a great adventure for a college student, highly recommend for the right kid. Went with my BF in an old VW van. Camped out. Very fun. |

| I ordered shares from Cold Country Salmon. We also really like the rockfish. We cook fish a lot and I consider high quality. You can also buy from them at farmer's markets. Their burgers are also good and different than frozen ones from Trident (which I also like). None of it is cheap but I justify it because it's healthy and tasty and convenient (we have a chest freezer so buying in bulk with the shares makes sense for our family). |
