You cannot tell it's white until the fish is filleted — the pale, ivory flesh only reveals itself at the knife. Wildfish Cannery takes that already-rare fish and reaches for the most coveted cut on it: the belly. Thick, marbled with fat, and carrying more omega-3s per ounce than any other portion of any other salmon species, the belly is typically the cut reserved for Michelin-starred sushi menus. Here, it's brined in sea salt, brown sugar, garlic, and black pepper, smoked over natural alderwood, hand-cut, and packed into a 3.5 oz tin in small batches. The result is sweet where you expect smoke, rich where you expect firm, and deeply, unmistakably Alaskan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWildfish Cannery has been operating out of Klawock on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska since 1987, when founder Phyllis Meuller started it as a community smokehouse to feed the local fishermen she knew by name. Today, her grandson Mathew Scaletta — a chef who trained in Portland and Chicago before returning home — runs the operation, still sourcing every fish directly from local hook-and-line fishermen and hand-packing every can on site. Klawock is the home of Alaska's first salmon cannery, established in 1878. Wildfish is its direct descendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExceptionally Rare Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: White king salmon accounts for just 5% of Alaska's king population and cannot be identified until filleted. The belly is the fattiest, most omega-rich portion of that already-rare fish — two layers of scarcity in a single tin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHook-and-Line, Hand-Packed\u003c\/strong\u003e: Every fish is hook-and-line caught by local fishermen on Prince of Wales Island, hand-cut at the Klawock cannery, and slow-pressure cooked in small batches.
