Imagine Bristol Bay as the bustling backstage of a concert, where instead of instruments, there’s a fleet of boats and a crew that’s all hands on deck. We’re talking scores of vessels, with crews that feel more like armies, all geared up to reel in the catch. It’s a mammoth task with these guys and gals working their sea legs off, from the crack of dawn to the fall of night, to bring the ocean’s harvest to our plates. It’s real teamwork – tough, honest work – that keeps the whole show on the road, and the fish swimming into our kitchens. This is the unsung grind behind our seafood dinners, folks. And it’s all happening right there in the waves of Bristol Bay.?Enjoy The Video.
Via YouTube: There’s a story behind wild Alaska salmon. Sourced throughout Alaska, follow us on the journey from the lands and waters of the world’s largest sockeye run in the world. Bristol Bay is located in remote south-western Alaska, and is known for its intense, fast-paced, and unpredictable seasons. Everything starts with fishermen out on the water. OBI Seafoods is a leading processor in the state of Alaska and has a strong presence in the Bay. Formed in 2020 through a merger between two of the oldest Alaska seafood companies, Ocean Beauty, and Icicle Seafoods; you’ll see remnants of their 100+ year legacy throughout our plants. From local Alaskan communities, fishermen, and the many employees at our processing plants, harvesting wild Alaska salmon takes teamwork, a commitment to sustainability, and a passion for Alaska. Thank you to Splitrock Productions for illustrating the intensity of harvesting wild Alaska seafood with this video.
