Alaskans Own

Alaskans Own Premium Alaska seafood. Alaska's 1st Community Shared Fishery. Contributing to the greater good is at the heart of Alaskans Own and who we are.

Sustainably harvested by local small boat fishermen from the pristine waters of Alaska. 100% of profits donated to fishery conservation programs and health & resilience program. Founded in 2010 by a group of commercial fishermen in Sitka, the Alaskans Own Community Supported Fishery (CSF) was created to help make Alaska seafood more accessible to Alaskans while also helping Alaska fishermen make a fair wage. In addition, Alaskans Own’s founders wanted their seafood sales to generate funding for the Alaska Longline Fishermen’s Association’s fishery conservation projects. In other words, they wanted Alaskans Own to benefit the wild fish and marine ecosystems that make Alaska’s fisheries possible. Over the years, Alaskans Own has been a leader in the sustainable seafood movement, promoting small-boat fishing families and educating seafood buyers about the benefits of buying frozen fish. We’ve also helped address food security issues throughout Alaska and the Northwest, delivering more than 600,000 donated Alaska seafood meals in 2020. Alaskans Own’s founder and director, Linda Behnken, has been recognized with multiple awards for her leadership and contributions to fishery conservation, including:

• White House Sustainable Seafood Champion of Change Award (2016)
• Lowell Thomas Jr. Award for Outstanding Achievement (2019)
• Heinz Award for the Environment (2020)

Today, Alaskans Own remains a program of the Alaska Longline Fishermen’s Association - a non-profit organization - and 100% of Alaskans Own’s seafood sales goes towards projects that support conservation of Alaska’s fisheries, create equitable fishery access, and provide healthy seafood to communities in need. More than 10 years later, Alaskans Own remains committed to providing Alaska’s wild, sustainable seafood to families like yours and being a steward of Alaska’s wild fisheries for future generations.

Not sure where to buy Alaska Rockfish? We’ve got a limited supply of Yelloweye Rockfish that was recently harvested in a small local fishery. Larger than other Rockfish species, Yelloweye Rockfish are prized for their mild sweet flavor and firm fillets and cook beautifully in a pan or on the grill.

Fresh Catch Alert!! We just received a limited supply of Yelloweye Rockfish from our local processor Seafood Producers Cooperative (thanks Alaska Gold Seafood !). This Yelloweye Rockfish was sustainably harvested this spring by local longline fishermen during a carefully-managed directed fishery out of Sitka.

If you don’t already know about Yelloweye Rockfish, then you’re in for a treat! Yelloweye Rockfish are a premium white fish found in the Gulf of Alaska. Larger and slower growing than other rockfish, Yelloweye Rockfish have a mild, sweet flavor and firm texture. It’s incredibly versatile and works especially well for stews, pan-seared, or on the grill. Pair it with one of our Pantry Favorites for a delicious no-fuss meal.

Order some online or stop by our Sitka office (304 Baranof St) while supplies last!

Meet one of our local Sitka fishermen and longtime Alaska Longline Fishermen’s Association Board Members, Terry Perensovich.

A lifelong Sitkan, Terry has always chosen the non-traditional path and began fishing during the “derby days” despite his father’s urging to choose a more stable career. In addition to fishing, Terry wears a lot of other hats, including shipwright, trapper, construction worker, and caretaker (not to mention fantastic baker as well!). From a young age, Terry felt that it was always important to be diversified. “I don’t want job security,” he jokes,” You go stale if you do the same thing every day.” Spoken like a true fisherman as Terry explains why he chose fishing over stability. “It’s important to have a diverse skillset in today’s world,” Terry explains as he reflects on all the jobs he has held over the years.

For many years, Terry fished out of a skiff for both salmon and halibut - he liked the simplicity of a smaller boat and being able to fish solo. Today, he fishes from the F/V Myrna D, an old wooden boat that he acquired after it was destroyed by a fire. Terry spent two decades restoring the old wooden boat, utilizing his shipwright and carpentry skills to bring her back to life and back out on the fishing grounds.

What is a Seafood Share? It’s a monthly delivery of premium quality wild Alaska seafood, sustainably harvested by local fishermen. You choose which Seafood Share you want (Seafood Variety, Salmon Lover’s, White Fish), how many pounds of fish you want each month, and how many months you want to receive fish. Seafood Shares are a great way to ensure you’ve always got wild Alaska seafood in your freezer, meaning that a healthy delicious meal is just minutes away.

All monthly Seafood Shares feature hook-and-line wild Alaska seafood that’s been flash frozen and vacuum-packed, sealing in the fish’s freshness soon after it’s caught.

This year’s Seafood Share communities include: Sitka, Juneau, Anchorage, Fairbanks, Seattle, and Point Roberts (WA).
