Fox Island Seafoods was formed in 2023 as a family owned and operated business searching for the perfect balance of responsible harvesting wild natural proteins and directly marketing them to you, the consumer. Fox Island currently sells a selection of salmon species in 8oz and full filets, without pin bones, as well as smoked Coho salmon online.
We have a philosophy of balance—Nourish Your Body, Nourish Your Life. Providing wellness to your plate, supporting nutrition for a balanced diet at the heart of a balanced life, sustaining healthy individuals, communities and environments. We have a deep desire to make health your wealth, by delivering high quality protein, naturally from the wilds of Alaska - directly to you. Our camp is just over six acres, where we gaze across the water at Fox Island that is about a mile off our shore. Fox Island was named after the Russians whom occupied this area before statehood. They attempted to raise fox on the island for fur trading. We own four limited entry Kodiak setnet permits, which stretch two miles down Deadman’s Bay. Our vision is local harvest and local processing. We are so humbled to have the opportunity to provide you with this nutrient rich, life enriching, Wild Alaskan Salmon with integrity and excellence from sea to table!
A balance of responsible harvesting techniques coupled with growing innovative food products, and our partnership with you will bring generational sustainability to Alaska salmon, fishermen, fishing communities, and consumers. Our future goals include building a small processing plant on our property, so we can further customize our products to meet the needs/wants of our customers. Fully processing our products ourselves will give us options to offer our customers other seafood products from our area, Alitak District of Kodiak, Alaska.

As a young woman of nineteen years of age, I started my wild salmon setnet journey alongside my brother of twenty-one years in our family setnet salmon fishery in the Alitak District of Kodiak, Alaska. Adventure, exploration, obstacles and constant problem solving accompanied a life fishing in the pristine wild waters of remote Alaska. I met my husband, married, and are raising three boys on the remote end of Kodiak. “To live Kodiak’s authority, undergoing its process is life changing, everything is possible and nothing is guaranteed.” ~Billy Molls
My family and I fell in love with the salmon’s story, the remarkable journey they forge against all odds to fulfill a sustainable life.
