Our story begins in 2011, when a Midwestern college professor, Nic, and his two students traveled to Sitka, Alaska, for the summer. There, they engaged in conversations and deepened their understanding of the importance of protecting Southeast Alaska's wild salmon populations and the pristine environment that supports one of the world's last great salmon reserves.

They returned to the Midwest with boxes of line-caught, wild Alaska salmon, harvested by their fisher friends in Sitka. To say the fish was well-received would be an understatement. People raved about the salmon's taste and were impressed by its traceability. They quickly made the connection between their consumption and the impact this small act could have on conservation efforts and the health of Alaska's responsibly managed fisheries. Perhaps, the group thought, they were on to something.

While in Alaska, this band of merry Midwesterners met Marsh. Marsh was the self-styled foodie and passionate gourmand of Sitka's hook-and-line salmon fleet. A local legend on the Sitka dinner party circuit, Marsh's favorite pastime included sourcing ingredients from the wilds of Southeast Alaska and elevating them with techniques learned from stints in professional kitchens.

As you might suspect, Marsh's quest for perfect food spilled into his work as a commercial fisherman. He obsessively handled his fish every step of the way to guarantee that eaters on the other end of his line enjoyed the perfection he sought in his own kitchen-including his family down in the proud town of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

With a lot of passion and even more luck, Sitka Salmon Shares was born.
