Founder Story
I live my life and commercial fish with a sustainable philosophy and am committed to contributing towards a healthy stewardship of the land and ocean for generations to come.
I am incredibly appreciative that you are considering sourcing your seafood direct from a small-boat fisher(wo)man in remote Alaska.
You’ll be helping to heal a broken food system, one fish at a time.
I founded Copper River Fish Market (CRFM) to provide home cooks and professional chefs across the nation with the highest-quality, responsibly harvested Wild Caught Alaska Seafood.
As a generational, lifetime fisher(wo)man; I was growing increasingly disappointed in the many falsehoods in markets and on menus, such as lower-quality fish being sold as premium cuts at premium prices and the general confusion and shady tactics of the industrial food system.
I recognized how the systems in place were steadily becoming more harmful to the buyers of seafood and the small-boat fisher people working to ensure a sustainable product.
I wanted to help bridge the gap between boat and plate by founding CRFM, taking out the middle man, providing a direct connection to the ocean and by responsibly managing every part of the process.
I am learning along the way and appreciate your suggestions and input on all things big and small.
After all, you’re the driving force behind Copper River Fish Market’s commitment to quality, the selection of seafoods offered and even the portion sizes. We’re in this together.
Best Fishes, Sarah 🐟💕
