Alaskan Salmon has launched a new direct-to-consumer online business that offers a VIP waitlist for Americans who want to be the first to have Copper River king and sockeye salmon delivered directly to their homes.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cordova, Alaska-based Alaskan Salmon supplied Copper River salmon solely to foodservice buyers.
“Business had been going very well, but then we lost a ton of our restaurant business,” Founder Kyle Lee told SeafoodSource. “Then, we saw a huge spike in consumer demand and, at the time, we weren’t set up [to handle] the consumer demand and our season was so short.”
