OUR STORY – KODIAK ISLAND SMOKEHOUSE & WILD ALASKA SEAFOOD

Nestled in the heart of Kodiak, Alaska, Kodiak Island Smokehouse proudly offers a boutique, personalized experience for seafood lovers, fishermen, and hunters alike.
We are a family-owned business fueled by a passion for exceptional quality, small-batch craftsmanship, and the spirit of Alaska's wild bounty.

A Proud Legacy of Growth

Originally founded in 1987, Kodiak Island Smokehouse has a long-standing tradition of excellence. In 2016, our family took the helm—committed to honoring the business’s roots while bringing fresh creativity, innovation, and a deeply personal touch to everything we do.

By 2018, fueled by overwhelming support from our customers and the success of our expanding retail product line, we outgrew our original location and moved into a much larger, modern facility. That move not only gave us room to grow our seafood retail and production, but also allowed us to expand into full-service wild game processing—providing hunters with the same level of care, craftsmanship, and respect we bring to every fish.

Today, our expanded retail store and production space allow us to better serve local residents, visiting sportsmen, and the growing number of travelers discovering the authentic flavors of Kodiak.

Personalized, Small-Batch Craftsmanship

What sets us apart? At Kodiak Island Smokehouse, every order is processed separately, ensuring you get back the exact fish or game you brought in. From trophy halibut to a freezer full of sockeye, from moose to deer, we hand-fillet and butcher most products with precision—offering a level of care and customization that larger operations simply can’t match.

We are proudly HACCP certified and regularly inspected by both state and federal agencies. And if you visit our retail shop, you can even watch our skilled processors at work via a live-stream monitor in our lobby—a behind-the-scenes look at the craftsmanship that goes into every order.

Creativity at the Core

Beyond offering traditional cuts and smoked favorites, Kodiak Island Smokehouse is a place where creativity thrives.
We love pushing culinary boundaries—creating everything from savory seafood snack sticks and jerky to wild innovations like salmon bratwurst. Some of our products enhance and celebrate the natural flavors of wild Alaska seafood; others transform it entirely, surprising and delighting in every bite.
Experimenting, exploring new ideas, and crafting unforgettable flavors are at the heart of what we do.
