Trish & Sara Sara & Trish The "Beachcomber" - our dad's fish boat
Sara Pozonsky & Trish Kopp are owners of Wild Alaskan Salmon Company. They are 2nd generation Alaskans and were both born and raised in
South-Central Alaska. They are among a brave group of strong Alaskan women who are drawn to the wild adventure that comes from working on the ocean.
While growing up in
Alaska, Sara & Trish worked in the commercial fishing industry - Trish for a prominent processing plant and Sara on her father’s commercial fishing boat. Sara’s brothers were also captains of their own commercial fishing boats for over 15 years. Together their families alone have more than 75 years in the fishing industry!
Wild Alaskan Salmon Company began out of desire to carry on part of Sara’s father’s legacy (see very bottom of page) who died in 2004. He was a life-long Alaskan who commercial fished in Bristol Bay as well as in the
Cook Inlet. It is Trish and Sara’s desire to carry on his tradition by providing customers across the nation with the highest quality of wild Alaskan seafood available. With all their past experience in the commercial fishing field, you can be assured that they know & recognize quality wild Alaskan seafood when they see it!
Trish lives in
Alaska year round and is responsible for fish procurement and shipping. She also serves as a board member of Kenai Wild, a group of commercial fisherman and processors in the
Cook Inlet region who market their fish under the “Kenai Wild” brand – a name synonymous with great quality. Sara resides in
Pennsylvania during the fishing off-season and is in charge of sales, business development, marketing and exports. Sara is also a known educator and speaker on the benefits of wild salmon vs. farmed, as well as on the management of
Alaska salmon fisheries. |

Wild salmon from Alaska is widely recognized as an extremely well-managed, environmentally responsible and sustainable fishery, resulting in it being recommended by the most respected leaders of the environmental community as a responsible seafood choice. For example, the Audubon Society lists wild salmon among its very best choices for recommended seafood (by contrast, they list farmed Atlantic salmon as one of the worst!). Similarly, Monterey Bay Aquarium’s signature Seafood Watch program also lists wild Alaskan salmon at the very top of its recommended list. The Marine Stewardship Council, an independent non-profit certification organization backed by the World Wildlife Fund has awarded its eco-label to wild Alaskan salmon in recognition of the fishery meeting its strict environmental and sustainability standards. |

A note about our fresh flash-frozen salmon fillets: |
With recent technological advances, fishing fleets are able to clean and flash-freeze fish virtually moments after they are caught. Flash-freezing, a process used for Wild Alaskan Salmon Company, instantly freezes the water inside fish tissues, thus preserving juices and maximizing flavor and texture when cooked. Quality and freshness in our salmon is maintained because the fish is packed and shipped frozen and not thawed until you open the package. If you can’t get the salmon within a day or two of being caught, this is the next best alternative. We doubt you’ll be able to taste the difference. Our online retail store only sells flash-frozen fillets.
