Wildfish Cannery

Nature provides perfection. We’re here to preserve it. Three generations in and we’ve learned that doing things the right way is doing things the slow way, by carrying on the craft and time-honored traditions of the region in our small seaside town of Klawock—home to Alaska’s very first salmon cannery more than a century ago.

At the same small facility where we began in 1987, Wildfish is run by chef Mathew Scaletta, grandson of our founder, who is dedicated to melding his family’s craft with his fine dining background (honed in foodie paradise Portland, Oregon.) We smoke and can sustainable Alaska seafood purchased straight from the fishermen and divers who harvest it, who also happen to be our friends and neighbors. Their hand-harvested seafood becomes our hand-packed products, prepared to a standard fit for the chef’s table but available to anyone who cares about the food they eat. The story of our island town, our sense of place and hospitality, is something time will never change, and we invite you into our world with every tin of smoked Alaska seafood!
