At Kodiak Island Smokehouse, we treat every catch with personal attention. From filleting and portioning to vacuum-sealing, labeling, and freezing, your order is kept completely separate — so the fish you get back is always your own.

For an extra touch, our smoked fish and gravlax come with personalized labels, making them perfect for gifting or savoring at home.

A Few Things to Know

All processing prices are based on the incoming weight of your catch.

Once your order is complete, you can pick it up frozen from our shop — or, if you prefer, we can arrange shipping anywhere in the U.S. through FedEx, UPS, or Alaska Air Cargo. However you choose, your fish is handled with the same care all the way through.

  • Fish must arrive already bagged or vacuum packed.
