Ready for 2014 Orders!

Dear Scrumptious Sockeye Salmon Customers,

It's been a loaded spring. We are in Homer, AK enjoying the land of the north and preparing for the upcoming salmon season. Kyle is excited for an exciting new experience in Bristol Bay and is getting the F/V Northland ready for her new fishery.

With so many things changing it's taken awhile to figure out the details of our Scrumptious Sockeye Salmon Shares for 2014. Here they are:

Our new partnership with Leader Creek Fisheries, our new cannery and processor in Bristol Bay, will help us improve our Salmon Shares in a number of ways:

We are not as limited in our ability to put up Salmon, so will be able to offer more Salmon Shares! (Tell your friends and family and put together a group order!)

There will not be any bones in the Salmon!

We will offer Salmon Shares in either portions (5-7oz) or whole fillets this year! (Fillets will be slightly cheaper.)

Each cut of Salmon will be beautifully trimmed, leaving less pieces of meat exposed to freezer burn on the edges!

All Salmon Shares will be barged in a freezer van to Seattle and will then ship out of Seattle instead of Alaska. (This should simplify and shorten your fish's overnight journey to you. If you live in Seattle we are looking into the easiest way to get fish to you.)

We are now a part of a coop of fisherman, all equally dedicated to quality. This means that we can no longer assure that the fish we sell to you are the ones that we specifically caught. (Your Salmon Share may include some of our fish and some fish from other boats in our coop.) We are still your connection to some of the highest quality salmon out there and can inform you of every step along the way taken to keep your fish delicious. All boats fishing for Leader Creek bleed every fish and are equipped with Refrigerated Sea Water (RSW) systems that chill the Salmon to 34 degrees immediately after coming on board. The fish that we are able to offer you are the top "A Grade" salmon picked out of all Salmon delivered to Leader Creek, the highest quality cannery in Bristol Bay.

Important order details on Small Scales Scrumptious Sockeye Salmon Shares for 2014:

Shares are again offered in 25 pound increments.

Choose between 25 pounds of portions (5-7 oz.) or 25 pounds of fillets (half of a salmon).
- (We are not offering mixed portion/fillet shares, unless you order 50 pounds and want one box of each.)

Please get your order in as soon as possible, we will still serve customers on a first come first serve basis.
- Email us your information:
  - Name
  - Pounds Ordered of Fillets or Portions
  - Shipping Address
  - Phone
  - Email

All orders will be shipped overnight to your doorstep, but we will only have a set day or two that fish ships out of Seattle.
- (This will happen once the fish arrives to the cold storage facility in Seattle and we get it all packaged and ready for you. We except this to happen mid-August to mid-September but will give a good heads up.)

Payment will still be by check at the end of the season once prices are set.
- (The Salmon market is changing a lot lately, so we can't speculate about prices yet. Last year prices were $15.20/lb for a 25 pound Salmon Share and $13.90/lb for a 50 pound share. Fillets will be slightly cheaper.)

New this year, we will offer group discounts to orders of 100 pounds or more! Combine with friends, family and neighbors for a group order. Contact us if you'd like to know more.

Please contact us if you have any questions about our Small Scales Seafoods Scrumptious Sockeye Salmon Shares for 2014 and get your order in soon!
