1. Q: How long will my fish stay good once
it is vacuum-sealed and frozen?
A: Once your catch has been vacuum-sealed and frozen, it is
best if eaten within approximately one year. The vacuum bag
will preserve the fish longer, but flavor and texture will
be premium if consumed within that timeframe. Once a fillet
is thawed or removed from the vacuum bag, it should be
consumed within a couple of days.
2. Q: Can you ship my fish home for me?
A: Yes. We ship all fish via FedEx Overnight delivery, to
the entire United States, including Hawaii. You can arrange
a shipping date with us while you are in Kodiak, or you can
call once you arrive home and give us your shipping
information over the phone. Shipping your fish home is often
the preferred method for many clients because it is like
buying a first-class ticket for your fish- overnight from
our plant to your door.
3. Q: How will my fish be packaged when I pick it up from
you?
A: When the time comes to pick up your catch from us, you
have the option of having it boxed. Our boxes are
wax-sealed, for optimum leakage protection, and include an
insulated foam lining to keep your fish frozen during your
travel home. Island Seafoods carries 15 pound, 25 pound, 50
pound and 80 pound boxes. All boxes are available at a
minimal additional charge, and are airline-approved for
travel.
4. Q: How many fish am I allowed to catch in Kodiak?
A: Current bag-limit and fishing regulations are available
from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Click here to
view the regulations for Kodiak.
5. Q: How many pieces of luggage will the airline let me
take on the flight home?
A: Currently Alaska Airlines and ERA Aviation allow each
passenger two fifty (50) pound pieces of luggage.
The following rates apply for extra or overweight luggage:
51 to 70 pounds $25.00 each
71 to 90 pounds $50.00 each
Extra Luggage (up to 3 extra pieces) $50.00 each
Fees and limitations change frequently, click here to see
Alaska Airlines current regulations.
6. Q: Will I get my own fish back?
A: Yes, absolutely. You worked hard catching those fish, and
we'll make sure you get those very same fish back when you
leave. Island Seafoods has a state-of-the-art computer
tracking system for all sportfish brought in our doors, and
a staff dedicated to fisherman-satisfaction. We are a
professional commercial processing plant, and we take pride
in our high quality of service.
7. Q: What is the shelf life of my vacuum-sealed fish once
thawed?
A: With vacuum-sealed products, it is important to keep it
frozen until you are planning to use it. Fish should be
thawed under refrigeration and/or under cold running water
immediately before use.
8. Q: What is the expected turn around time to process my
fish?
A: For us to be able to fillet, vacuum-seal and properly
freeze your catch, we typically have a minimum turnaround of
about 24 hours. In the event that you catch a fish the same
day you are leaving, some exceptions can be made to the best
of our processing capabilities.
9.. Q: How should I care for a fish I catch?
A: Fishing in Kodiak is typically done one of two ways.
Charter boats, and those adventurers who fish Kodiak's many
rivers and streams. If you are fishing on a Charter vessel,
your skipper will take care of preserving the fish until you
arrive at our dock. If you catch a nice and bright salmon
one of Kodiak's many rivers, it is most important to
thoroughly bleed your fish, and quickly ice it down.
Bleeding is typically done by tearing or cutting a gill,
and/or slicing the tail. Once the fish is fully bled-out,
you should ice it down until it is handed off to us for
processing.
10. Q: What is 'Custom Processing'?
A: Our professional staff of processors will hand-fillet
your fish, vacuum-seal it and finally blast-freeze it. You
can choose the portion size (typically cuts weighing about
1.5#) and whether we fillet or steak your catch. In
addition, if you wish to have your fish smoked, we work with
Kodiak Island Smokehouse and can have your fish smoked and
ready to be enjoyed about one week from when you drop it
off.
11. Q: How long will it take to get my fish smoked?
A: If you choose to have your salmon or halibut smoked, it
typically takes about one week. If you are leaving Kodiak
before your fish is back from the smokehouse, you can
arrange to have it shipped home via FedEx Overnight
delivery, and it can be brought right to your door.
12. Q: What is the recovery on an average fish?
A: Recovery is the amount of fillet weight that you get back
once the spine, entrails and head are removed. A question
often asked is, "If I bring a 200lb halibut to be filleted,
how much meat will I get back?" If you do actually bring a
200lb halibut in, you'll get a pat on the back and
approximately 50% fillet weight- around 100lbs of fillets.
Halibut typically run about 40-50% on a forty-pound fish, a
little more on bigger fish, and a little less on smaller
fish. An average salmon will get you back about 50% fillet
weight, and a rockfish or ling cod will get you a turnaround
of about 25-35%.
13. Q: I am fishing with a charter boat. How will I get my
catch from their boat to you?
A: This is where it gets easy for you. After you've landed
that barndoor halibut, you get to sit back, take pictures
and watch us do the rest. Our dockside facility is equipped
with a crane which we lower to the charter vessel and bring
your catch in to be processed. While you snap photos and
watch the fish enter our facility, a member of our staff
will come aboard the charter vessel to get your custom
processing requests and gather any information we may need
to assist you.
14. Q: What salmon will be running when I visit?
A: Kodiak has world-class fishing of all 5 Pacific salmon
species. The first salmonid to enter the freshwater system
is the King Salmon (also known as Chinook salmon) in May and
June. Simultaneously, sockeye (Red Salmon) start their run
in early June. As the sockeye migration begins to slow
around mid to late July, you will begin to see Pink Salmon
(Humpies) and Chums (Dog Salmon) to enter as well. Lastly,
starting in mid to late August, Coho (Silver Salmon) start
showing their fins. This coho run lasts well in to October,
and even some in to November. No matter what time of the
summer you decide to fish Kodiak, you'll be sure to find a
salmon somewhere near.
