Custom Fish Processing Services in Kodiak, Alaska

Your Catch, Your Way — Personalized Fish Processing Done Right

At Kodiak Island Smokehouse, we specialize in premium custom fish processing for sport fishermen, charters, and locals alike. Whether you’ve been fishing the ocean, rivers, or remote streams around Kodiak Island, we’re here to make sure your hard-earned catch is handled with exceptional care — and a personal touch.

We process your wild-caught fish exactly how you want it — from filleting and portioning to vacuum-sealing, labeling, and freezing. Each order is kept completely separate, so the fish you bring in is the fish you get back — never mixed with anyone else’s catch.

To elevate your experience even more, our smoked fish and gravlax come with personalized labels featuring your name. It’s perfect for gifting, or simply celebrating your catch in a memorable way.

When your order is complete, you can:

Pick it up frozen from our retail store
Or ship it anywhere in the U.S. using FedEx, UPS, or Alaska Air Cargo

Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning guest, we’re here to offer a boutique-style service that makes your Kodiak fishing trip unforgettable — and delicious.
