Yakobi Fisheries

Pelican, Alaska

Wild Alaska Coho Salmon, Wild Alaska King Salmon, Wild Alaska Rockfish, Wild Alaska Sockeye Salmon

Yakobi Fisheries is family owned and located in the tiny Southeast Alaska town of Pelican. The business is owned by Seth and Anna Stewart. After growing up in Pelican, fishing for over 20 years, and learning what fresh, wild fish can do for quality of life, Seth had the dream of getting people the highest quality salmon possible. Our partnership with Yakobi helps us source salmon and rockfish for our members from the waters north of Sitka.

With a population just shy of 100 souls, Pelican is defined by its relationship to the sea. “It’s really small,” Seth admits. “I was born and raised here, and it’s a fishing village set on the side of a mountain.” Pelican is the epitome of a small-scale commercial fishing community. “There’s no streets and really the only cars are the fire truck, the village garbage truck, and a fuel truck,” Seth says. “It’s just one stretch of boardwalk, all on wooden piles.” With about 20 full-time employees, Yakobi is also critical to the economic health of Pelican.

Many companies use “family owned” as a marketing slogan, Yakobi Fisheries lives it:

“My older sister works with us, my younger sister works with us. My wife and I obviously, my dad does a lot of work with us, and my nephew. And then there’s my sister’s partner, he works with us. My older brother works with us in the fall when he’s not fishing.”

We are proud to partner with Seth Stewart and the Pelican fishing community to offer you wild seafood processed by a family-owned business dedicated to the highest standards of quality.
