For three decades, our life has revolved around the rhythm of the ocean, Alongside each other, Mark and Sheila embarked on a journey that is both grueling and deeply fulfilling – the life of commercial fishing.
Our story began with a shared dream, a vision of a life lived close to nature's heart, amidst the ebb and flow of the ocean. With little more than determination and weathered equipment. Together, we navigate the seas and the intricacies of marriage and partnership.
Days blurred into Alaska nights, as we cast our nets with hope, embracing the uncertainty of relying on nature's bounty. Uyak Bay is where we call home, its vast expanse is both our playground and our livelihood.
We start each day with hues of sunrise painting the sky, the symphony of seagulls, and the thrill of a bountiful catch dancing in our nets.
We look back on decades of toil and triumph, filling us with profound gratitude. Grateful for the countless sunsets we've witnessed, for the camaraderie of fellow fishermen, and for the love and bounty that has sustained us.
It's not just about the fish we've caught or the storms we've weathered – it's about the bonds we've forged, and the memories we've made. Together, we endured the changes that swept across the fishing industry – fluctuating markets, and the ever-present specter of processor changes. Yet the salmon remain steadfast, and we are adapting to a new adventure of direct marketing our salmon.
At our core, we are fishermen – stewards of the sea, guardians of centuries-old fishery. With a deep reverence for the ocean and a commitment to sustainability, we proudly present our direct-marketed salmon.
